Same here on my '09 streetglide. Not messing with this one until I hit 100K or have a problem.

All 3 dealers I patronize all say that unless you are having fuel supply issues or get bad gas to not worry about it.

I called all 3 because my manual says at 25,000 mile service to change it. I wasn't wanting to do the change because of the special tool to get the fuel pump assembly out with. They all said they'd do it if I insisted, but didn't recommend it.

My 06 stated the same, every 25K. I changed it out both times, it really isn't that hard to do.

Perhaps more dust gets into the gas or my tank here in Oklahoma. Mine was pretty dirty at both 25,000 mile changes. Then my filter canister broke and I changed it again with the new canister. Check the holes the locking pin goes through very carefully for any cracks or fatigue lines. When the canister separates from the pump body there is no "limping home". You are stuck right there. Fortunately there is a flat bed trailer in the family.

Its not to tough to change. I used a piece of pvc and a rubber hammer to loosen the fitting on the tank After that you just work it out of the tank. Change it using the parts in the kit and work it back in. Tighten by hand and then give the fitting a couple of good whacks to completely tighten. I have heard guys using a screwdriver instead of pvc but that might not go well around gas fumes.

As to the avatar just google Karina Hart truck ride. Warning NSFW and those with heart conditions.
