you could always break the lock and use a screw driver. and since its a stunt bike maybe you should get a vortex screw on gas cap.

i just broke the lock with a screw driver, then took out the actual locking mechanism. so now it still works but to lock it and unlock it i have to use a screw driver. oh well its a temporary fix. plus the locksmith wanted 150 dollars to make a key for it.. even tho they made me 2 ignition keys for 5 dollars... ********

that will solve your problem .. but remembe rthe lid and the base are sold seperately .. so for about 100$ you never have to worry about a key again
