fuel tank lock. To keep thieves at bay

[muaymendez1]

I just find it funny that bike manufacturers give you a locking gas cap . Like what gas thief would really siphon fuel when he can just disconnect the fuel line to petcock abd hood the hose in a gas can.

One further.

Why would they choose a bike with a capacity of 5gollons and not a work van that can possibly be have 25 gallons.

Just saying, If I saw someone trying to take fuel from my bike. I would probably laugh first.

I would say it's more to keep people who get annoyed with motorcycles from dumping stuff into your tank.

or turning your bike into a 2-wheel Molotov cocktail...

Hmmm. Didn't think of it.

I guess water, brake fluid, or anything foreign for that matter.

So it's not anti theft, more if a safety device

Keep the bad nasty fumes from escaping? Without a lock, those fumes could undo the cap and dissappear.

Hey....in the movie Wild Hogs, John Travolta cut the gas lines on all the bikes and it had the same effect.

Heck, it would only take five minutes to steal the whole tank.

Actually. . I have a huge pad lock on it with keyptonite chains, The Club, an alarm system, 2 pit bulls, a davids star with a lock of hair above it, a sign that says please have mercy and the keys to my wife's car beside it.

The wife's car keys are a nice addition:thumbsup2:
