fuel overflow??????
I fueled up my '97 Dyna convertible for a trip tomorrow. When I went out to put some stuff in the saddle bags I notice something leaking under the primary gear case. It smelled like gas.
I took ride of about 5 miles to warm it up and see if it would leak anymore. So far it hasn't.
It looks like a hose goes into the frame right in front of the rear fender and there was some stain around where it entered I tried to trace the hose back and it looks like it goes under the tank. Would this be an overflow from the gas tank.
I would like to try to confirm this before I start on my trip tomorrow.
Thanks for any help, Pete

I can't be 100% sure but two of my riding buddies had the same thing happen right after a fill-up. Seemed to leak out a few onces then stopped. We were on a long trip so they both said they "topped it off". It hasn't happend to either of them again. One is an 5 or 6 year old Wide glide and the other is a brand new Fat Bob. They both leaked in the same place, a few inches in front of the rear tire.
I'd say it's the fuel overflow.
