Default RE: Fuel Filter Canister Replacement Confusion

Someone else has posted that they also had the new canister in a bike w/a B.D. of 10/07, Another with a B.D. of 10/07 did not. Therefore I think it's safe to say that sometime during the month of Oct. 2007 Harley started using the new part.(now it's all starting to make sense) My bike has a B.D. of 11/07 and it has the new part allready in place. Hope this helps.

To those that think phone calls and articles will lead to a recall... think about the cam bearing of 1999/2000.&nbsp\\; no recall - just a 5 year warranty on the bearing.

Were there any warning signs or do they fail and the engine dies?

Went to change mine out this morning. Mine has a build date of 10/07. Igot it apart and found mine has the new style already in it. Oh well it was raining this morning and had nothing better to do.

Well guess what, do nothing and nothing will change. It's worth a shot. Maybe if people started suing Harely Davidson for the hardships that this defect is causing, then I think it's safe to say they will make it happen. As I had stated in another post, it's a damn crime what there doing. Someone has to die before they change a life threating defect. Pray that it won't be you!
