Never seen one of these for the ATC's , with gas prices so high it might be a good investment, LoL http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-ATC200-LOCKING-GAS-CAP-WITH-2-KEYS-81-82-/300676287856?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4601b40d70&vxp=mtr

I have one on my 125cc atc70.. i hate it! It does not seal all that well and it has a vent hole in the plastic where the key goes. If your out in the rain or you splash thru a puddle it will get water in the tank.

not much of a deterrent in my opinion, it's just as easy to pop off the gas line from the carb and pour it on out. and if a thief was going through that much trouble he just as well steal the whole bike.

I know the keyed gas cap from my TW200 fit my trx 125 (the bigger vented honda cap) and vise versa. Like freak said it's not really a deterant to steal from but it will keep people from putting anything in the tank

I would be far more worried about a locking gas cap for your car or truck. What does your average atv hold? 2-3 gallons??? is that enough to worry about? Most cars hold 12-15 gallons, trucks and van go from 20-50 gallons. According to ford, my truck my truck will hold near 40 gallons(most I have ever put in it is 33 gallons) and its diesel, so its ~50 cents higher than regular gas.

Good luck getting a hose past the rollover valve in any modern vehicle. But keeping some clown from pouring sugared gas into your truck makes sense to me!
