Default Softail Deuce

I am prepping my 06 (injected) Deuce for the season... I had to take the tank off to get the IAC changed out. WHAT A PAIN! I am just wondering if there is anything else i should be changing while I have the tank off so I dont have to do that again for a while!
So... ANything that anyone can think of that I should replace while the tank is off?

If you have the old style hard plastic fuel line from the tank to the throttle body, check for either end swiveling in the plastic. I would advise upgrading to the flexible rubber line.

Great call.... Thanks Ed... Funny enough I know exactly who you are. I started at your ex employer about 5 months before you left. I sit right next to Darryn. :-P Small world!

Cool - was it loose on the line? They usually are. A little twist and they spin. In any case I'd upgrade if I had the plastic line.
