fuel pump problems anyone ?
Hi Folks,
Did anyone ever had problems with the in tank fuel pump ?
I'm planing to make some tank mods that will make the full pump inaccessible.
thanks

I had a problem with my FLHTC, a hose had a hole rubbed in it, also you have a fuel filter in there, dont sound like something I would to seal up where I cant get back into it. This is not a scare tactic but fact, the new gas is playing heck with rubber parts these days.
i would highly not recomend you do this! it is a paint to get it out as it is... i have had to replace 3 of them on customers bikes... i would not recomend that you remove this access, or the sporty idea is great!

+1 on leaving it accessible. I'm pretty sure that the in tank fuel line in my bike has a hole in it right now, so I know that I'll have to get in there soon. Sooner or later you will need to get in there too.

Thanks guys,
I was kinda crossing my fingers that nobody had such problems, I really wanted to mount my cateye dash on my Street Bob :-(
about the Sporty pump, I don't think it's a good idea, otherwise we would have seen more EFI Harleys with such mod and less thread asking about it...
I'll have to go with a Fat Bob tank I guess...

Found another way
I'll just do it the classic way (wanted to avoid that) and custom make a leather tank panel, just have to find something to fill the gap between the console and the tank
