Don't know exactly about your bike, but generally, they are up in the tank as a part of the fuel valve.

RE: Dumb Question

TennRider,

First, let me say the only "Dumb Question" is the one you don't ask, so don't be afraid to ask anything.

I have to agree with "oldgeezer" about the location. I have a 2005 XL1200R and the fuel filter strainer is on the tank end of the fuel valve (petcock). It sticks up off the petcock inside the tank, and I can't see why they would not use the same design for your '05 883L.

It should be part of the petcock I believe.

OK it makes sense... was that wat with my "OLD" Honda some 20 yrs ago..
I was hoping there was a inline filter to make it easier to clean.

RE: Dumb Question

Tennrider - got a problem with the filter>????? - just curious as to why - I personally would like to know why I had somone point out the horn a few years back (was a clueless ahole - still can be at times) - didn't know, didn't care - was OutOfMyFkingMind with joy over getting a Harley
