Keyless Ride fuel cap release failed today

[Ray]

So after 43 seconds with Dremel against soft alloy, I now have a latching, but not locking, gas cap and no fears of taking away from riding time to fix this on the road. 

Did this modification work well without any surprises on your recent trip?

The latch mechanism is untouched. It does not lock. It works perfectly. It feels like it always did, but there is no longer a sense of foreboding when I lift the tab.
