    Hi all,

    Does anyone know if there is a locking gas cap that will work on the Blast? Specifically, it's a 2010 model. Thanks in advance!

    Yes. I believe the gas cap off the tuber models work and they lock.

    However, don't go blowing 80 dollars on a cap. I have one that I would let go for much less. It is used of course, but still in pretty good condition. PM me if interested. I can also provide pictures.

    Thanks Pierce. But the link you posted looks pretty much like the stock gas cap on the Blast. In other words, it doesn't look like it requires a key. Sorry if my initial post wasn't clear - I'm looking for a lockable (i.e. key required) gas cap to replace the stock Blast gas cap. So I wasn't sure if anyone had luck finding a replacement (even if it isn't a Buell part).

    Thanks.

    Ha ha - didn't even catch that. Blast only goes up to 2009.

    And that link does indeed show a locking gas cap. The difference between what you have and the one shown is the circular key below the pull down tab that locks it in place.

    The cap take s a circular key, which I have with the cap.

    I think a few 2010 blasts made it out of the factory without being smashed. There is a 2010 local to me for sale on Craigslist. I think i have seen others as well.

    Believe me, there is no such bike. Nothing against you or your knowledge, but they were discontinued in 2009. There were no 2010 Blasts.

    Those that tell you, or are trying to sell you a 2010, they are wrong. I am not saying that they are liars, I just assume that they have no knowledge of the bike, and were probably told by someone else that it was, and they had no idea what they were talking about etc.

    Buell closed in October of 2009.

    From wiki:

    The Buell Blast is a motorcycle that was made by the Buell Motorcycle Company from 2000 to 2009.

    In July 2009, prior to Buell ceasing all motorcycle production, Buell ran an ad campaign stating that the Buell Blast would no longer appear in their line-up. The ad featured a Buell Blast being destroyed in an automobile crusher.[4][5] For 2010, a limited run of crushed Blast cubes was offered for sale upon request. They were available in Battle Blue, Midnight Black, and Sunfire Yellow, and were individually signed and numbered by Erik Buell. [4]
