No real problems with mine. Sometimes after filling up it needs pushed down a couple of times to stay. I to Love my 07 Springer. It still gets a lot of attention by on lookers.

Same as ICE6900, Trim ring doesn't like to stay on the tank. Gas softens the clear silicone and thats it again.

I have had mine replaced once, the new one has also blown apart on more than one occasion. Guess I will have to pick up another.

I got sick of that gas cap and with a guy that had the old style that you can grab a hold of, the trade made us both happy.

Mine just blew apart today!! Hope I found all the pieces! Just blew apart sitting on the pump while I was gassing. I'm not sure how it goes back together. I have the extended warranty. Is the cap covered?

Warranty should cover it, just make sure they change it out. Some dealers would rather say it won't happen again or that you took it off wrong. It is a design flaw!

the trim ring is supposed to have double sided tape holding it on, not silicone......

The doublesided tape gave out a while ago. This was the dealers fix.

HD does sell just the trim ring by itself........(I wonder why???? LOL)

I believe a brand new trim ring costs around $12.00
if it's still under warranty, they should have replaced it, not stuck it back on with silicone....
