Any body know how to be able to fill the gas tank to the top on a Triglide without splashing gas all over the place?

When filling, it will usually be up to neck with 1/2 gallon of space left. Then I just press pump handle Dink, dink, dink...etc to fill rest of way. When I encounter a crappy pump that has fine no control, I use the H-D official red rubber plug over nozzle to keep splash at minimum. No, I am not making that up. After causing problem, Harley sells a red rubber splash guard. An H-D bargain at only $19.99.
It all depends on the pump nozzel. Some nozzles let you fill to the top and some are really bad. Yesterday I had a bad one, I couldn't even click the handle without the gas splashing everywhere.
I remember seeing a gadget(not sure if it's the one Bikerbozo is referring to)on an episode of American Chopper. You put it on the end of the nozzle and then insert it into the tank. It's suppose to keep the gas from spilling all over the tank.
