LOCKING GAS DOOR

[paul_scooter]

I got tired of lifting the seat each time to fill up. Also the seat didn't stay up, and I read a lot of people having problems with the seat unlocking mechanism. So I decided to put in a locking gas door so I don't have to worry about the seat staying up or the seat unlocking not working. I bought the door off of ebay for $16 and decided to try it. I'm 80 and work slow so it took me about 4 hours. My leg doesn't touch the door when I'm riding.

I had the same problem with the driver's seat not staying up when I needed to fill up.
I found that lifting the front of the passenger seat allowed the driver's seat to stay up.
I have a driver's backrest installed, so you can't lift the front of the passenger seat a lot, but it's enough.
