Of the 5 HD's I've owned I never even thought of changing the fuel filter. I'm pretty **** about maintenance but I can't see going through the crap of accessing it unless I'm in there for something else or I have a performance issue directly relating to it.

My ride has 43k on it. I elected to renew the fuel filter, pressure regulator, fuel strainer and fuel line / quick disconnect. I figured as long as I have it out I'm replacing it all. My filter looks such as yours. Very dirty. I'm glad I went ahead and changed it early. One less thing to worry about.

Re-tune a bike for a fuel filter replacement???? That is one lying MFer is he is incompetent. Either way, I wouldn't let him work on broken cinder block.
Yep, Fourteen bucks every 25,000 miles.

And if it takes you a couple hours, you must drink a lot of beer.
I can do it in under 30 minutes, provided the tank isn't full of fuel.
If you choose to do the regulator at the same time, it's another $25.
There's a damn good reason I won't buy a used bike as my primary ride....

Not on a '00 with MM injection:
61959-00 FILTER fuel | FH/FT $106.97
(True though, at $14 on yours, it doesn't seem quite as silly.)
