Gas Lock Key
imported post
I was a wing event in TN a few years ago and saw this radio knob where the gas lock was. I asked the owner how he did it. DUH! it was so simple I felt stupid.I made one for my bike and it's great and very convenient. Just don't for get to take it out if your locking your bike up for security.
All I did was cut the top off a key and JB weld it inside one of those chrome radio accessory knobs. Shazam!

Wanted to do the same thing on the trike, but Icouldn't finda key that fita GL1500 anywhere in my area. At the Davis Rally there is a vendor called The Engraver that cuts the proper 'Wing keys. I told the lady in the booth what I was looking for, she reached under the counter and they had the key blanks chopped down and attached to the knob, all ready to cut. Cost about a dollar more than buying a key, knob and the glue, not to mention the time saved.
I do regret getting one. Should have had two made, one for the gas door and one for the lockable right pocket. BTW, If they are cut down right, the key will be too short to work in the ignition or the trunk. Mine only works on the fuel door and right pocket locks.

That's good to know. If you have a buddy near just buy the two pack of knobs for the CB knobs. The Average JAFO has no idea it is a key but, I'd extra grind it so it DOES NOT work in the ignition. Just incase you have a case of "part timers" and leave it in the bike,,,I do.

How about exchanging gas door lock and keywith a buddy and not worry about the gas key starting the bike. Could just leave the key in the lock or use a knob.

Really great Idea. I was taknig a look at my locks and looking at a couple of spare GM locks at a key shop. They look very similar . I wonder if they will fit as a swap.

now that's a great idea,i have 3 different locks on my wing,and putting the one lock on my gasdoor would definitely be easier than always removing the ignition keys for fillups

Finding a spare key that worked was the hard part where I live. I finally gave up and got one from The Engraver at the Davis Rally in Iowa as I mentined above.
Then I found these links-
This one from Fred Harmon (of the GW vidio fame) shows how to make the gas door knob. Substitute a nice chrome radio or fader knob for the knob in the pics if you wish.
