Filling up

I know there were threads on here about the gas cap issues, so this one has more to do with when I am filling up and the when the gas gets close to the top I need to continue to nudge the big to essentially "pop" the bubble to top off the tank.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue or not. I done remember having this issue with my soft tail but maybe that was because of the offset filling hole and crossover line. Not sure.

Comments are welcome.

Sure...every time I fill up. Not unusual at all. Had to do it on the Deuce too. Just bump it a bit and the "bubble" goes down. Have to do it several times to get it all the way full. Not a big deal.

Same here but I don't have any concerns about it. Just fill till it reaches the top and go

Ditto here too. My Softail was different, maybe because the offset of the fill neck. I'm used to it now, just a little different.

I find on this bike I seem to spray fuel out when filling more than my '06 or other bikes. Needs just the right angle to not spray back. And yeah, I'm usually sitting on the bike wiggling my *** to keep the bubble down as it fills up.
