How does it seal compared to stock?
The locking mechanism shuts it tight - how does that work with these caps?

only way to fill it up all the way safely.
Also the only way to make sure you have no good options if a cager doesn't see you. They are idiots all the time.
I get off my bike to fill it.

The SSR ones screw shut and there is a gasket on the cap. No issues as far as closing go.
Mine (SSR - Multistrada) did have a problem with letting the fuel tank vent...as in it didn't. The cap covered the breather hole when fully shot. A little bit of dremel work (which can't be seen when the cap is on) and the problem was fixed.

It may not be necessary on the Monster ones. I know the Multistrada and Sport Classic ones need it though. Not a big deal IMO, considering the reasonable prices SSR charges.

Its not the likelihood of a few litres of fuel theft that puts me off, its the opportunity that it creates for some pea brained knob to drop some oh-so-funny foreign object in there that I'd be more concerned about.
Unlocking... Non-lockabe... Sheesh, you get the guys drift. Some pedantic ball breakers around here ....lol.
I put a hand full of popcorn kernels into a gixxer exhaust once. it was make the beast with two backsing hillarious.
