I hear ya. Again, not trying to pee on anyone's cornflakes. They do look cool and its each person's choice as to the look they want.
I find my keys are pretty good in the right hand top pouch. Handy for gas, my garage door fob., etc.

One of the first things I did, so much simpler, and looks good too

 

One of the first things I did as well. So stupid having a locking fuel door for 6 gals of gas. Lock was a pain in the a** on fuel stops.

 

Yep....Works great, easy install.

 

Ahhh...the BUTTON is what is rattling. I understood the cover (door) to be the culprit. My apologies!

My button definitely does not rattle. My slight annoyance is that I have to depress the button pretty far to get the cover to release. This is impossible with gloves on and actually kinda tough with a bare finger. While the door was open, I slightly depressed the latch tang and the button loosened up where it would rattle with the tang held partially in. Does your button feel tight when the door is opened and is it flush with the top pf the lock, only becoming loose enough to rattle when the door is closed? If so, something may be holding the latch tang from fully extending when the cover is closed. That could be remedied by taking a dremmel sanding wheel and shortening the latch tang a little. I may do that with mine as well to keep from having to depress the button so far.

 

I installed it one day and removed it the next. It rattled like crazy and drove me nuts. I love the idea BUT I couldn't take the noise.

Installed the button ages ago, no problems, no rattle and works great. Get the non-locking version. Easy to install.

 

I have the one that doesn't lock and will not switch back.

I installed the push button right off the bat the same time I swapped handelbars. Spent a couple months looking for the rattle that was coming from the front. After pulling the fairing off several times and tie wrapping every connector and cable I could find along with removing the gas tank to find the T40 bit I dropped that never hit the floor I thought I fixed the rattle, NOT. Finally figure out it was the stupid push button rattling. Now I just cut a strip of tie wrap and shove it next to the button to stop the rattling.

 

Bought and loved the one from Kuryakyn, but it fell apart 3 months after the install, and by "fell apart" I mean unrepairable. Haven't replaced it yet, glad I held on to the stock lock. May go with the HD version next.
