How do I remove the lock from the filler cap?

Are you talking about the metal spring loaded door that is actually part of the lock barrel or the flip up flap that covers the lock on the gas cap itself?

the silver piece of the locking barrel itself rather than the flap. if you can see the last photo i posted it's a bit mangled

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think the saddlebag locks are the same on the other bikes and if you did get a replacement lock then it wouldn't be the same as the ignition. That cover is only there to keep large objects out of there to prevent the lock from being jammed from junk getting in there. It doesn't keep dust or water out and there is the filler cap flap that does the rest of the job. if it really bothers you just yank it out altogether as it really isn't necessary on the filler cap since it has the flap.
