fuel filter, shell & top plate
I'm collecting parts for changing my fuel filter. Threads here report shell problems and so I also will do the shell. Threads also suggest that the top plate may be the culprit in shell failures. I'd like to get guidance to all of this in one thread.
For a 2009 FL:
(1) Are there issues with the top plate and should the original version be changed?
(2) Can someone please provide the P/Ns for fuel filter, shell & top plate? Is there a kit?
I'm steering clear of the ring removal tool issue, but will say I am getting the Snap On (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....roup_ID=681633).
Thanks

Having rediscovered St Charles HD's parts finder, I can provide the part numbers and prices.
Filter -- 61011-04A $17.77
Shell : 62229-08B $31.36
Top plate: 75147-08B $137.03
Top plate assembly 75069-08C $137.03 (filter, shell, regulator, harness, top plate, etc.)
Obvioulsy it makes more senes to buy the top plate assembly.
The link for the parts finder is http://www.stcharlesharleydavidson.c...partfinder.htm
I still do not know if there are problems with top plates on 09 FLs. Anyone know?

This is a picture of the broken canister and the heavier duty replacement. The '08's had the 75069-08 version, the 09's were suppose to have the 75069-08A version, the '10's had the 75069-08B version, and the '12's came with a 75069-08C which is the current version available. I would say that there was still a problem with the A & B versions of some sort or there wouldn't be a C version, the MOCO usually doesn't just replace things that don't need replacing unless it saves them money.
You may want to check which version you have in your bike jefla before you change it out, but if the canister looks like the one on the left, change it.

Hey TUCCI, how you doin'? I don't think you will have anything to worry about with the '11 model, but it does use the same filter canister (shell) as the other FL's use. The top plate just doesn't have a filler hole in it. I think what may have happened is that some of the '09's were fitted with the 75069-08 top plates. I don't know this for sure, but the part number that is listed for the '09's has the beefed up filter shell.

Thank you all. I considered waiting until I had the bike apart before ordering the kit, but that's more down time than I want. More importantly, only -08C is listed for 2009 in current parts lists I've seen, and I am comforted by going with a redesigned unit.
