Default Power loss

Good evening all. Tonight, while on a ride, my bike (a 2011 FLHTP with 103, dresser duals and thunderheader slip ons, and fp3) started losing power under heavy throttle. Light throttle was fine, but if I jumped on it, it would bog down. Bike has 35000 miles on it. I'm thinking maybe fuel filter? Any help would be greatly appreciate,even smart *** answers, as I've given a few to others on their posts... Thanks and have a great night!

I'm thinking fuel filter, too, considering the symptoms. Or, possibly clogged gas cap vent.

Very good chance it’s the fuel filter. I’ve had that happen several times to the point I now change mine every 20,000. They are cheap and not hard to change.
