TT600 - Lockable Fuel Tank

Hy everyone !
I'm new here and before I start, please excuse my english, I'm french.

I bought a 2006 TT600RE a week ago. I'm living in a big city and haven't thought about the fuel tank. Indeed, the fuel tank can be opened because of the lack of key locker.

For the moment, the only information I found is to change the fuel tank with a XT600.

Does anyone know another solution, even if I have to modify or maybe "create" something?

Thanks all!

Sorry for the lack of news, I had such a busy weekend.

Before buying this tank cap, I've seen it's for Acerbis tank first. Do you think it can be added to a plastic tank with just the thread (french is Filetage, to be sure) without modifying the tank?

Thx!

I believe your asking if the threads are the same for both tanks since it states the cap is for the plastic Acerbis tank but doesn't say for the stock tank.

Hows that ?

Exactly
But after asking the seller, he said it's okay for stock tank. But according to the dimensions, it couldn't fit...

So I'm stuck again... :/
