A machine shop might be the way to go.
I'm thinking you'd create a wide, flat nob that would fit over the existing cap, then cut a notch through it where a key could be tightly inserted. Once you get the key to the right depth, simply cut what's left of the top of the key off flush to the top of the cap, weld/expoxy the key in the slot, then weld it shut. Then for looks, have it chromed to make it look good. The key cap itself wouldn't need to be very thick - maybe 7/8"? I'm not sure on your bike, but on my '06 the cap tilts back, so you would want to make the cap shallow enough not to lean back and knock the top of the tank when the cap is opened. Hope you get some good ideas - that'd be my best one. For the record though, I think it's a bad idea too. It takes me all of 10 seconds to get the key out of the leg pocket of my chaps, and I'm in no rush to do anything while on the bike. Moving on to the next thread... ::)
