04 Softail Heritage
Does anyone have this problem ? When I go for a ride & park my bike in my attached garage my garage & my den fills up with Gasoline fumes. Almost to the point that I check for leaks but come up negative. I'm thinking gas cap, I'm open for sugestions .

I don't know if I get that from my 09 Heritage or not, but if I was you I don't know what I would be more concerned with; my bike emitting fumes or the lack of air seal between my garage and house.
If you're smelling fumes from your garage you might want to find out how the fumes are getting into the house more so than where the fumes are coming from.
Just a thought.

I have had my 2005 SE Fat Boy for almost 8 years. When I park it, I leave the garage door open for awhile or about 1/2 the time there is a strong smell of gas.
The smell doesn't get in the house. I never have detected any gas leaks, so I just learned to live with it.
Aside from the gas fumes I have had zero problems with the bike.
