Mine was manufactured in Aug 2007. I will be picking the bike up tomorrow, all fixed. My dealer had no problem getting the part. I will post the new part # tomorrow. I guess a new vendor is making the part.

RE: 2008 EGC Misfires/Backfires
My 2008 Street Glide with 5700 miles on it just quit running. The dealer showed me the problem. The plastic latches that attach a white plastic bowl to the fuel pump broke causing an extreme loss in fuel pressure. The dealer said they have had to change out a lot of these parts and that Harley has had this part on back order for some time now. This Tuesday-June 17, this part is supposed to come off of back order. The dealer said Harley will on occasion redesign parts like this one when a problem like this becomes apparent, but we will have to compare the new part to the old one to find this out.

If I had been going up one of the many bridges in my area when the engine quit I might not be here to write this thread. Has anyone else had this problem?

The above is my thread I started without realixing this is an epidemic. Gee Whiz! I had my bike 6 weeks when this happened. My wife also has a 2008 Street Glide. I am still waiting on this part. If HD sends the same crap out after the backorder then my lawyer friends and I will sue. This is absolutely bull that it has taken this long for them to do something about this potentially fatal issue.

As I Stated above the bike will stop running immediately when this part breaks, tell me that this isn't a recipe for disaster. They need to start a recall before somone is killed going up a bridge.
