Default Help with fuel vent tube

Hey guys, I took my fuel tank off to run a wire to the battery for an amp. When I put it back on and went to reinstall the vent tube it felt loose so, like an idiot I pulled up on it thinking it was connected to a charcoal canister and wanted to see where that canister was, and it pulled right out of the bike. Is there a canister(non California bike)? And if not(or either way), how do I put it back? Lol.

I did the same thing yesterday. Remove left saddlebag and trim. You will see two zip ties on the left side of the bike. Those zip ties hold the vent tube in place. Disconnect the elbow of the fuel vent line and start at the bottom. Once I figured it out it only took a minute.

Thanks! So there is no canister, it's just vented to atmosphere? I read not to overfill your tank. These new bikes SUCK to fill, have to keep rocking the bike to get the tank to burp and can fit a lot more fuel in them but I was told not to do that because it would fill the charcoal canister the epa made harley put on the new bikes. If that's not the case, fill er up!!

Thanks again, I just reinstalled the tube. Telling me to go from the bottom didn't make any sense to me and I probably would have never tried it that way. But, took about two minutes after 10 trying to get it from the top.
