Replace fuel filter
Manual calls for replacing fuel filter at 25K miles. Dang thing costs $60. For those that have replaced it, how did the old one look? Did it look like it needed replacement? Thx.

replaced mine on a 2008 road king at 27K and it still looked brand new. Before I buy another one I will just pull it out, look at it and then decide weather to replace it again or just clean and reinstall. Don't know if the 08 is different than the 07 because of the larger tank.

I can't say for sure on your bikes, but a fuel filter change on my 09 Dyna requires that you replace the canopy screws with the self sealing washers or risk a fluid or vapor leak.

Late models (I think '08+) are easier and cheaper to replace. No canopy screws or gaskets to replace - just the filter itself and an O-ring. You don't have to take the pump all the way out or disconnect hoses. You just pull it out far enough to open the filter housing. I found one on EBay for $15.00, shipped. I changed mine @ 23k miles and it was fairly dirty.
