Hi All, I ride a Wing and have done this mod to it so I thought it would look nice on the wife's DN01..
While I like the locking gas lid, sometime it is a pain and the keys can scratch the paint. I took a Wing radio knob and cut a groove into it, Made a copy of the key and cut it down so when it is inserted into the slot and into the lock, the knob is about flush. After you have the key and slot right, drill a small hole in the base of the key, insert it into the slot and fill the void of the knob with fast set JB Weld. The small hole in the key will help anchor the key within the JB Weld....
The key is not long enough to use in the ignition and the DN01 is a chip'ed key so it is useless. if you are worried about it, while you are away from the bike, pull it out and store it. Most people will not know that it is a key from looking at it,,
