2011 Street Bob - question after removing canister, etc
Hello Everyone:
I have a 2011 Street Bob and removed the fuel vapor canister... and installed the Harley Fuel to Atmosphere hose (after the check valve as prescribed on the forum). I routed the tube under the tank and down in front of the rear fender and it just hangs below the frame. (as suggested)
I rode the bike today and everything was great. However, when I returned home and parked in the garage I noticed a few drops of fuel directly below the vent tube. I grabbed the end of the tube and a few more drops of fuel were collected at the end of the tube... Is this normal? There was not a large amount of fuel released, perhaps a bit bigger than a silver dollar on the floor. After the bike cooled down (30-45 minutes), it seemed to stop and the tube end is now dry...
I just want to be sure everything is OK from the collective wisdom of the forum.
I sincerely appreciate any feedback.
Jett

Thanks for the confirmation and response. I rode it today for approx 100 miles and got home, shut the bike down and no dripping. I'll keep an eye on it for the next handful of rides... I agree with you that the conditions may have been just right for condensation.
