How can the gas cap be removed if I don't have keys?

Non-destructive:
Get a Locksmith to pick the lock.

There may be a lock code on the ignition lock assembly, from which a new key could be cut.

Destructive:
slide hammer the lock cylinder out. Then, hopefully, turn the latch with a screwdriver.

Thanks fellas. I was thinking locksmith. I had read that getting keys with the code from Harley was near impossible.

I wonder if these locks can be bumped open.

I have the tumbler apart from the seat lock and it's very simple. I know I can get an ignition and gas cap with key on ebay then modify the tumbler in the seat to work with that key. The problem I think I or a locksmith will run into is the amount of torque needed to get the cap open with picks.

Look on the tumbler housing for a 4 to 6 digit code.
A locksmith might be able to cut a key from that code.

If you have one of the tumblers out, a locksmith can make a key from the tumblers inside. But the accessory locks may not use all the tumblers.
