Ultimate has an option for an access port made from an aftermarket gas filler door. Feeling adventurous? Here is a DIY page. the fuel door is the fourth one down. https://www.spyderrt.info/u-do-it
There are a number of posts under various names dealing with putting in a fuel access door.
I have also seen, but can't remember exactly where, someone pull the vinyl and padding away and cut the seat pan, reattach the padding and vinyl an a flap is made to get to the gas cap without lifting the seat. The padding and vinyl become the hinge, and they used velcro tape to keep the flap closed.

That is an ….. RT seat …. To my knowledge ( back in 2010 ) I'm the only one to put a Gas / Fuel door on an RS type seat..... I used a Fuel Cap from a Yamaha crotch rocket …… When I was Vending I did sell a couple of " kits " for others to put them on their GS / RS seats ……. Mike hyea:

I had a Corbin on my 08. It had the fuel flap...which I thought was very convenient. That said, it may be difficult to find some items for the 09 since it is over ten years old now.

Checking for used can be helpful if you want a Corbin. New, they were almost $1000. They are also very hard (supportive). You either like them or hate them. I am one of the few in the LIKE column. Had them on both my 08 and the 10. 56,000 Corbin miles.
