How to: remoove black polution canister
Is the world going to come to an end if I attempt to remove that barrel shaped canister on the lower front of the frame. Can I just rip the 3 hoses off and then take the body off the frame?
Any more logical sequence of events would help As it doesn't do anything for the looks of the bike. What about re-sell, is the next buyer going to want it back on? Thanks.

Be careful when you pull the bolts out, they're the ones that hold your front motor mount to the frame. Make sure the bike is vertical and put something under your motor to support it when you remove the bolts. You might be able to pull one at a time and rotate the bracket, but that's kind of a pain, better to pull them both just make sure the motor is supported.
Also, the hoses, one goes to your fuel injection throttle body, one goes to the fuel tank vent underneath your speedo console. The one that goes to the throttle body you should remove completely and seal off at the throttle body with a rubber plug. You can get plugs at an auto parts store, or use a piece of gas line and a bolt or something solid and round, you'll figure it out. The vent hose you should also figure a way to lengthen so that it vents below the bike, just in case.
It's easy to do, just takes a bit more than pulling that piece of crap off and chucking it in the bin.
Good luck,

Ditto what Robottom said...
But leave the check valve on the line that goes under the speedo console remove the line just below the check valve and extend the line down the frame to the back of your motor this can be done with some 1/4 vacume tubing from the parts house.....
Also keep the charcole canister (the ugly black part on the bottom) along with the plastic tubing as it is here in California you never know what the state will do reguarding smoging your bike.....

Removing the vapor canister:
The single hose on the right side of the bike from the vapor canister goes up under the tank and doesn't connect to anything it is just a breather hose you can just pull it out.
On the left side of the bike you have two hose's coming off of the canister. The canister is labeled carb / tank, disconnect the tank hose and follow it up the frame to a little vapor valve, remove hose from the bottom of this little vapor valve and remove the hose. This is now your 49 state tank vent, you can also get the 49 state vent hose that connects to the vapor valve and runs up under the tank, it is in the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) item 13 on page 90 P/N 27296-04A TUBE, VALVE TO ATMOSPHERE and a retaining clip item 7 P/N 10113 CLIP, DOUBLE HOSE.
Disconnect the carb hose from the vapor canister, this line goes up the frame and under the tank to a connection behind the top left side of the air cleaner, it connects to the intake manifold, disconnect and put a cap on the port of the intake. (In the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) on page 20 they list a cap plug item 21 P/N 90383-98 CAP PLUG, INDUCTION MODULE that might be the one to use.) This hose is difficult to remove, I took off the rubber hose from the plastic tube by the intake and pulled the hose out from the front of the tank and broke off a clip that supports a harness that comes out of the bottom of the tank, but I was able to ty-wrap that harness to another harness under the tank near the frame. If you cut the plastic tube end off that has the ridge, it will not hang up on anything and it will just slide out.
The vapor canister bracket has a clip that you depress and then the canister can slide off the bracket. Loosen the two allen head bolts that hold the bracket on to the frame, remove top bolt then rotate bracket and put the bolt back in and tighten it down, then remove lower bolt and bracket, reinstall lower bolt and tighten it down.

If you have vehicle inspection in Canada, and you remove the canister, then go through inspection...umm, maybe big fine?

You're right, they don't have an inspection where I live on the island, (not a big city or area), but you never know, we now have the Olympics to pay for so they might instigate inspections for everything now to get coin back in their jeans, haha.

You could remove it, without damaging it...then if you need to reinstall, there it is.
I'm sure at some point they will force SC residents to do it. Since living here, 11 yrs now, they haven't had it. My family in NJ doesn't understand...every year they ask me if I got my vehicle inspected. My dad is kind of a control freak. After a while, I just appease him by saying yes instead of having to explain (one more time) they don't have it in SC.
