@@haroldyazzie3538 Ill be doing a softail soon but let me know what year your bike is and ill see if I have the service manual for you in the meantime. Its a PDF file that you can download.
I'm about to replace my 2012 Ultra Classic and my wife's 2010 Street Glide Trike filters. Purchased the Lang tool from Amazon as well. Awesome video as I will refer to it once I get started.
I appreciate your video explaining fuel filter replacement. Of equal importance, in my humble opinion is the style you employ while producing the video. 1.Straight to the point, whatever it is you're talking about. 2. Clear and concise. 3. You do not give far too much info. in regards to anything. 4. No unnecessary product/tool endorsements. Thank you Sir. 11 minutes of my day, and now I'm set to do my maintainence! Best Regards D.L.
really sorry I missed this comment! I just saw it browsing through the comments section. And thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated and im glad the video helped! Be safe!
FINALLY !!!!! A Trike on the lift LOL I’ve got over 100K miles on two wheels. Did all 48 on two wheels in less than 3 yrs. Knees got too bad and had to go to a Trike. Already 48K on it and working on doing all 48 maybe 49 on three wheels. Us Trike riders seem to be forgotten when it comes to touring. Thanks Steve for bringing in a “Geezer Glide” to the shop. 👍🏻
Ah yes..Ive been itching to get one in here and im going to do as many videos as I can in the small amount of time I have it here. We have some new parts going on this one...pretty excited to get started!
I watched your video and once amazon got the wrench back in stock I ordered one. changed my filter today and it was simple after watching your very complete how to. i have also thought the Motor Companys change at 100,000 miles was for to long. cars and trucks seem to have shorter intervals and have much larger filters. I have 17 road glide special with 75,603 miles and my filter was filthy also lots of dirt I cleaned out in the filter housing. i live in western Montana and ride in to remote areas and may not always be able to get fuel at anything other than an old run down gas station my next filter change will be at 20,000 miles from now and depending how it looks I will sick with interval or less if needed. when the filter is so inexpensive and I have the tools why not. thank you for a great how to video
This type of content is what makes TH-cam such a valuable source of information. Fixed a problem I’ve been tracking down for a long time. Filter was completely plugged at 37k miles. I would have never attempted this without your video. Thanks so much brother!
I am not good at mechanical stuff, but this video was terrific... thanks so much! At 24k, my filter was black as I found out today when I closely followed the video and successfully changed it. It saved me hundreds and I learned more about my bike.
Even at 20k the filter was very black. I’ve started to change the filter every time I change my plugs. You can definitely feel the difference in throttle response.
Thank you for the video. It saved me a lot of hassle. I didn't realize it was this easy. I did mine at 24,000 miles on my FLHP. So much better throttle.
Great video and for the most part spot on - Only "watch-out" would be for those of us with the gas cap and gas gauge on our tanks (2013 Road King for me), getting that filter assembly out and then back together on the tank was challenging. No impossible (I got it done), but far more challenging than your video shows. I just want to say thank you for all your video's, it has given me the tools I need to take on regular maintenance items myself, greatly appreciated!
I ride an 04 EG. I bought it used w 32k miles. I just turned 60k and have never given the fuel filter a single thought. I will be doing this soon. Thanks brother! God bless, safe ride.
Thanks for the video, getting my assembly out was a little bit of a pain but me and my buddy manage to get it done. I used the wrench and that was nice, no scratches to my Big Blue Pearl paint on my 2012 SG. My filter was not as dirty but I don’t have near the miles.
Thank you for sharing this video. I bought my sister's 2000 Heritage that she had only 5,410 miles on it. She's having issues with vertigo so I bought it so she will always have a ride. It hadn't been started in 3 years so I drained the gas and spark plugs but didn't know where the fuel filter was. The filter is definitely my problem. I can't thank you enough!!!...
I changed my filter after watching your tutorial a couple of times. I used a long bolt and rubber mallet to remove the clamp ring. Easier job than I thought. The old filter was black! 45k miles on my 2017 Road Glide special.
Great video! I changed my fuel filter out at 25K this weekend and it does make all the difference in performance. I used the Lang tool and it was worth the $30 investment. The only trouble I had was putting the locking pin back in to the filter housing. I had to have a second set of hands on the job as I pushed the top and bottom pieces together and my son was able to push that locking pin back in. Anyone who is doing this job may want to have a buddy to help them out. Things do get a little tight in these spaces. As always, your videos are super helpful. Thanks again for your content.
Just did my Electra Glide 2014, "103" Today. It was a tuff bugger to take apart and put back together. Persistence got it done. My filter was BLACK. I'm riding a whole different animal now. Big difference. I think I gained back 20 hp. Thanks for your Demo. Sure helped. My sportster has a primary and secondary filter. 5x the coverage as this little thing. Tip ! I couldn't get the U clip started back in until I beveled the ends with a file. They were squared ends with burs. Smooth them off. Cheers.
Yeah that u clip can be a huge pain sometimes...sometimes they slip right back in and others you have to beat em in lol just kidding..yeah filiing it down is a great way to get it started easier. thanks for checking out the video
I bought my 2013 Ultra Classic 2 years ago with 70,000 miles on it and it now has 74,000 miles, and I don't know if the fuel filter has ever been changed. Good thing I saw this video. I will definitely do a filter change soon. I just subscribed! Thank you for your help. 🙏
Riding my forth Harley putting well over 20K on each, never before thought about a fuel filter or the impact of not changing it out. Riding my newest 22 RG Limited now with 13K so at 20K I plan to change it. Thanks for the information and demonstration.
You are the man brother!!! There is a huge community of trikers that really enjoy the how too about there trikes, thanks so much and keep it coming bro !!!
Agreed! I had a few comments that they didnt know they had one..and all HD models have them...the touring models are by far the easiest to change though. Thank you for checking it out!
Great video, I used the snap on tool HFTLRT, and the filter was black with 48k on the motor. Your directions were far superior to the service manual. Thank you.
I enjoy your videos! I've gone through lots of Harleys over the past 52 years. My current HD 2020 Freewheeler with the 114, anti-lock, traction control, 4 spark plugs, computer everything has me soo outdated. I need your guidance! Keep up the great work! & keep showing trikes! It's a whole new world
Odered the tool - changed out on my 12 TG - shared with all my dresser buddies. Told em to find this vid if they didnt believe me - looks like free beers for a while (tool rental) - even though like u said, u can do it differently - but with the tool, no slips scratches and takes about 15 mins to do. Not the first time u helped educate me with something. U da man.
Love seeing you work on a Trike. Filters and fluid changes are always cheaper than replacing parts plus your bike will continue to run properly. Again, really loved that you were working on a Trike.
Thank you sir! Yes. Preventative maintenance is a huge thing you can do...we dont always have to wait for something to break or clog up before we fix it..that will also reduce possibly tearing even more stuff up in the long run.
I bought my 2017 Road King with 10,000 miles on it and changed the fuel filter and plugs shortly after. This is one of those thing I change way before the suggested mileage schedule.
Excellent video. Change mine every other service or 6,000 miles, depending on where I have to buy my gas. Try to get it at the same place all the time, but when we go out of town on a trip it can be a gamble as to how clean the fuel is you're purchasing.
yes sir specially if you are traveling and not sure what your getting. Even if you are at the station you normally get gas at, if you see that gas truck out front filling up the tnaks..pass it on up...those pumps do have huge filters on them but they dont catch everything and those trucks stir it up!
Man thank you I'm almost at 50k and mine stalls out at lights sometimes so I know i need to change mine I'm glad your started zooming in to give a clearer picture and idea of what your doing and using a 13 down bike. Great video
If the bike is stalling at traffic lights (when it needs the least amount of gas), it would never have any power when using heavier throttle. So, something else is going on to make it stall at idle.
I purchased a 2020 street glide CVO with 46,000 miles and already having some issues thank god I purchase a warranty . Electrical , rear wheel possible problem. So this was a good video tovsee
Just replaced the fuel filter in my 2009 FLHTCU and it was nasty with a green yellow substance on it. Looks a lot like pollen. My Ultra has 65K miles on it and when I lifted the center tank cover, I found lots of grime. I cleaned it all and put a coat of wax on it. Got it all back together and it works good. Thanks.
My bike is a 17, but with the low quality fuel we have in SC, found out the hard way a while back, I’m just gonna change my filter as soon as I can get a new one in. Thank you for another good video.
Yes sir. Pretty crappy gas all over the US and if you are travelling state to state, you just never know what you are getting. Your bike will thank you! Thank you for checking it out Ricky!
Hey this change your filter like a pro you wouldn’t bullshitting never worked on a Harley in my entire life played with dirt bikes often on my entire life. This was smooth thanks to your video. I’ll set for a couple weeks. Debating on who is responsible and respectable enough to work on my bike since my Harley Mechanic has retired and doesn’t work on them as no more no more
I’ve been wondering where The fuel filter was. I’ve had other people servicing my bike, but I’ve started doing things myself. This looks easy enough the way you did it
Thank You for your Tip. I just changed the filter on my 2011 Street glide. it only has 37,000 miles on it and the filter was as bad if not worst than the one you removed from that trike. Used a screwdriver and a dead blow hammer. I also only use premium fuel 91 octane and up.
Thank you soo much for taking the time to put up this video. I'm fanatical about maintaining my 14 SG and have never replaced the fuel filter but I am going to the dealer today to get 1. Thanks again.
Was just surfing the net and ran across this video. I have a 2013 FLHTCUSE CVO. It has approx. 20,000 miles on it. Bet it needs a fuel filter change. Thanks for the video. I liked, and subscribed. Peace brother. And a huge thank you for the info..
Thanks for the info. Going to be looking for lots more of your content. Ironically enough, I have a 2013 ultra limited with about 48000 miles and I can tell my fuel filter is dirty.
That thing settled right down on top of us in southern Illinois..been raining for 3 days now...but im not complaining ...its way worse in other states with the flooding. Crazy!
Thank you for the video it was very informative, I am dealing with hard starts after getting some bad fuel and I have been trouble shooting the issues and I think this is going to be a game changer for me. I do take my bike in for somethings but I spent 22 years in the Army working on Helicopters so somethings if I can do them myself I like to for one I love turning wrenches and for two it saves lots of money. Will come back an update afterwards Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I have always tried to do my maintenance on all my vehicles and this video reminds me that I have always neglected fuel filters until there is an issue thanks again great video
Thanks! Saw this video and went and got a filter the next day. I have completed the change out, and that old filter at 47,000 miles is wrecked. Also 2015 Road Kings only have one plug under the seat if it's unplugged it won't start. You have to lift console and unplug at at the pump. Thanks again!
yes sir..so many variations on these bikes but glad the video helped at least raise some awareness for the fuel filter. Thank you for checking it out and also sharing your experience with us!
@@scrumthebum2451 I have a '15 Road King and I too don't have the second plug. I drained all the gas from my tank and really had no problems with the gas pressure when I changed out the filter. Moral of the story...drain your tank and you shouldn't have any issues.
Wow, thanks guys great content. I watched this and got thinking about my 2020 road glide special 26k on her. Ordered all the parts and the tool easy peasy and that thing was black when I got it out wow. Never would have thought it would be that bad. Keep it up, I love the touring bike and trike stuff and I get ideas from the rest!
Very cool ill check out your channel! Ive been chomping at the bit to get a trike in here and I think I can get a few videos out in the small amount oif time I have it here. Thank you for checking it out!
Steve I have a 2010 streetglide and I was having issues with it randomly bogging down or just shutting off and didn’t really have the time to do the work myself so I bought a fuel pump kit and took it to a local shop, I guess because the original owner had let the bike set for a couple years without being ridden much the strainer and liner had started to deteriorate and when he showed me my filter element you couldn’t even tell there were pleats in the thing, I don’t know how it was running at all but she’s running great now that the fuel pump assembly was changed and I always make it a habit to fuel up a couple miles before I get home not just because of the condensation issue but because I know how aggravating it is to go on a ride with friends and it seems that one of them needs gas ⛽️ in the first 5 miles. Keep up the great videos and if your ever down in eastern NC hit me up
Yes sir Steve ...that is one of the biggest contributors to poor performance. Glad you got it figured out bro! And thank you for being that guy that has fuel at the start of a ride lol...i know the pain...there is always one!
Great video! I'll be changing the fuel filter on my 2021 SG as soon it comes in and yes I brought the same wrench off of Amazon. It has 12,000 miles,with it being 3 yrs old I'm sure it never been changed and I'm sure the filter is pretty brown.
Hey bud, I've don that and my fuel sending module 3 times on my 06 Ultra flhtciu. The little tit broke off on the fuel sending mount. Thank you youtube! I dot my hoses backwards twice, which is not hard to do, following hd's service manual. Finally, I got it and should be good to go for another 65K. I haven't had it out this year as I copped a brand new Tri Glide Ultra. Love it and now I am going to watch you and compare mental notes with myself...
Changed my fuel filter after watching your video and went exactly as you stated. The filter was absolutely filthy and the lock pin was very difficult to remove. 08 FLHTC and I'm sure the filter is the same from the factory.
LOL yes sir...youtube may ground me for a few days...glad the video helped you! Super easy to do and quite essential, specially before the suggested 100k.
You are a great help. I do all things on my bike just by watching you brother! Keep up the good content. Very professional and easy to watch! A true pleasure.....Subscribed and on my radar always.
I just stumbled across you channel and this was first video I watched. Thanks for the great video. I will most definitely be changing out my filter now. Thanks for the tips. You do an awesome job with your how to. I am a new subscriber and I look forward to many more of your videos. Take care!
Thanks Steve for another great video, here is a little info just to put this into a bit of perspective, if you were to run your bike to 100,000 miles and you are getting 42 mpg, that little tiny fuel filter would have had 2,380 gallons of fuel pass through it, I can’t imagine why HD would recommend that kind of mileages to replace that small filter at. Even at 40,000 miles you will pass 952 gallons of fuel through it. For $20.00 at HD just replace it and protect your $35,000.00 investment.
I just changed mine with 39,119 miles on it and it was BLACK, for $20.00 for the filter with O-ring and the other gasket that under fuel cap assembly for $9.00, both at my Harley dealer, now the throttle snaps right to it when I crack it.
Thank u for showing and making it a point that it needs to be done before that I just put 40000 on my 2018 and I am definitely going to do it asap thank u again
Great Video with exceptional camera work. Just changed the fuel filter on my 09 SEUC. Very dirty. My friend has a 06 Dyna with 65K we had to change his because the bike would not start. Starving for fuel. Thanks. CAHDBIKER
Greetings from southern Indiana. Great video Steve. I'm doing mine now on a 09 ultra I got with 65k on the clock. I just had to tap those brass inserts for the inner faring windshield. Damn near lost the Shorty windshield in the wind. Lol
Is that right? Man I stay out of those forums as much as I can lol They get my blood pressure up too much lol glad the video helped though! Thank you for checking it out!

I appreciate that very much...thank you for the kind comment as well!

Yes sir..id say about every 30 to 35k on fuel filters to be safe.
I do all my own work on my bike and you do great videos. thank you for taking the time to make them.
Thank you for the kind words my friend! Im glad the videos help!! Much appreciated!
After watching your videos I have learned that with a little patience and knowledge we can all repair and customize our own bikes, well almost. Thanks
Thank you for checking them out and really glad they help save some money!
Awesome video! Definitely gonna change mine now. Thanks for the vid brother.
Glad to help!
Man thank you I'm almost at 50k and mine stalls out at lights sometimes so I know i need to change mine I'm glad your started zooming in to give a clearer picture and idea of what your doing and using a 13 down bike. Great video
This will certainly help the stalling...If that doesn't clear it up I would check into getting a tune on your bike
@@sikbaggers I just bought a new one because the old tuner I had they say is no longer street legal so so after the filter I'll look into the tune.
If the bike is stalling at traffic lights (when it needs the least amount of gas), it would never have any power when using heavier throttle. So, something else is going on to make it stall at idle.
Great video! I’m A firm believer in changing fluids and filters. I never let a fuel filter go over 20K miles.
Thank you!! Glad to help!
Just did mine on my 14 street glide last Saturday.
Took us all of 15 minutes
At 36k miles.
It made a night and day difference in throttle response
Yes sir...the throttle loves a new filter!
Like the way you explained and educated us and saved us all money and the pain in the rear. The tool is worth it.
thank you for the comment and checking it out! Glad to help!
I purchased a 2020 street glide CVO with 46,000 miles and already having some issues thank god I purchase a warranty . Electrical , rear wheel possible problem. So this was a good video tovsee
i hate to hear youre having those issues....I hope you get it lined out!
Did my fuel filter on my 08 street glide about 1 month ago before I road to NC from Pa... super easy to do
Indeed! super easy to do and very low cost! Not many reasons not to do it ..thanks for checking it out!
Just replaced the fuel filter in my 2009 FLHTCU and it was nasty with a green yellow substance on it. Looks a lot like pollen. My Ultra has 65K miles on it and when I lifted the center tank cover, I found lots of grime. I cleaned it all and put a coat of wax on it. Got it all back together and it works good. Thanks.
Glad to help! Thats weird about the green...must be something they are adding into the fuel maybe...never seen that
My bike is a 17, but with the low quality fuel we have in SC, found out the hard way a while back, I’m just gonna change my filter as soon as I can get a new one in.
Thank you for another good video.
Yes sir. Pretty crappy gas all over the US and if you are travelling state to state, you just never know what you are getting. Your bike will thank you! Thank you for checking it out Ricky!
Hey this change your filter like a pro you wouldn’t bullshitting never worked on a Harley in my entire life played with dirt bikes often on my entire life. This was smooth thanks to your video. I’ll set for a couple weeks. Debating on who is responsible and respectable enough to work on my bike since my Harley Mechanic has retired and doesn’t work on them as no more no more
I’ve been wondering where The fuel filter was. I’ve had other people servicing my bike, but I’ve started doing things myself. This looks easy enough the way you did it
Thank You for your Tip. I just changed the filter on my 2011 Street glide. it only has 37,000 miles on it and the filter was as bad if not worst than the one you removed from that trike. Used a screwdriver and a dead blow hammer. I also only use premium fuel 91 octane and up.
Thank you soo much for taking the time to put up this video. I'm fanatical about maintaining my 14 SG and have never replaced the fuel filter but I am going to the dealer today to get 1. Thanks again.
glad to help and thank you for watching!!
I want to thank you for doing this on a trike, I have one and need all the help I can get. Looking forward to you upcoming videos.
You're welcome John! Glad to help!
Was just surfing the net and ran across this video. I have a 2013 FLHTCUSE CVO. It has approx. 20,000 miles on it. Bet it needs a fuel filter change. Thanks for the video. I liked, and subscribed. Peace brother. And a huge thank you for the info..
Excellent video, Im no mechanic and did this in 20 mins. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the info. Going to be looking for lots more of your content. Ironically enough, I have a 2013 ultra limited with about 48000 miles and I can tell my fuel filter is dirty.
Thank you for the way you instructed that video my compliments
glad to help and thank you for checking it out!
I'm from West Virginia
May I ask where your location
Thanks man, great video! I have 75K on my biake and acceleration is slow. Will be changing out the filter tomorrow!
yes sir..glad to help!
Buying my filter and gasket next week. Thank you as always.
Yes sir..and thank you for checking it out!
Great job. Great channel. I'll be doing my fuel filter this weekend while Hurricane Helene blows by.
That thing settled right down on top of us in southern Illinois..been raining for 3 days now...but im not complaining ...its way worse in other states with the flooding. Crazy!
Thank you for the video it was very informative, I am dealing with hard starts after getting some bad fuel and I have been trouble shooting the issues and I think this is going to be a game changer for me. I do take my bike in for somethings but I spent 22 years in the Army working on Helicopters so somethings if I can do them myself I like to for one I love turning wrenches and for two it saves lots of money. Will come back an update afterwards Thanks again.
Awesome video brother thanks for the info!!
youre very welcome frank! Thanks for checking it out!
Already a subscriber. Thanx for the great video. I will absolutely do the filter change before next spring.
Thank you sir!
Thanks for the video. I have always tried to do my maintenance on all my vehicles and this video reminds me that I have always neglected fuel filters until there is an issue thanks again great video
Its pretty common to overlook it and really glad I could help...judging form the comments on this video Id say HD has sold a few since I dropped this
Another excellent video and a very easy maintenance I also noticed how much better the bike is after changing the fuel filter
yes sir...that throttle will crack after a simple filter change.
Bull, you're full of yourself, this filter does nothing
Thanks! Saw this video and went and got a filter the next day. I have completed the change out, and that old filter at 47,000 miles is wrecked. Also 2015 Road Kings only have one plug under the seat if it's unplugged it won't start. You have to lift console and unplug at at the pump. Thanks again!
yes sir..so many variations on these bikes but glad the video helped at least raise some awareness for the fuel filter. Thank you for checking it out and also sharing your experience with us!
I have a 15 RK Good to know. Was the bike having any symptoms of filter being “wrecked” or did it run better after the change? Thanks
@scrumthebum2451 a little sluggish at stops and idling beforehand. Now, it's definitely more throttle responsive.
@@rurik41
Ok thanks
@@scrumthebum2451 I have a '15 Road King and I too don't have the second plug. I drained all the gas from my tank and really had no problems with the gas pressure when I changed out the filter. Moral of the story...drain your tank and you shouldn't have any issues.
Thanks STEVE, great video going to change my fuel filter 75,000 miles on the street glide also ordered that tool. Awesome stuff
Thank you Don! Your Harley will thank you! Glad the video helped!
Great instructional. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Glad they help Don!
Wow, thanks guys great content. I watched this and got thinking about my 2020 road glide special 26k on her. Ordered all the parts and the tool easy peasy and that thing was black when I got it out wow. Never would have thought it would be that bad. Keep it up, I love the touring bike and trike stuff and I get ideas from the rest!
Hey glad to help!! Thanks for checking them all out...I appreciate it!
Glad to see some trike content, I started a channel for trikes but I'm just a nitwit, you do an awesome job, thank you
Very cool ill check out your channel! Ive been chomping at the bit to get a trike in here and I think I can get a few videos out in the small amount oif time I have it here. Thank you for checking it out!
I've been looking for that tool forever! Thank you so much!
yes sir glad to help!
Just bought a 2004 ultra classic. 38000 miles. Ill need to do this. Thanks.
Youre very welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
Steve I have a 2010 streetglide and I was having issues with it randomly bogging down or just shutting off and didn’t really have the time to do the work myself so I bought a fuel pump kit and took it to a local shop, I guess because the original owner had let the bike set for a couple years without being ridden much the strainer and liner had started to deteriorate and when he showed me my filter element you couldn’t even tell there were pleats in the thing, I don’t know how it was running at all but she’s running great now that the fuel pump assembly was changed and I always make it a habit to fuel up a couple miles before I get home not just because of the condensation issue but because I know how aggravating it is to go on a ride with friends and it seems that one of them needs gas ⛽️ in the first 5 miles.
Keep up the great videos and if your ever down in eastern NC hit me up
Yes sir Steve ...that is one of the biggest contributors to poor performance. Glad you got it figured out bro! And thank you for being that guy that has fuel at the start of a ride lol...i know the pain...there is always one!
Great video! I'll be changing the fuel filter on my 2021 SG as soon it comes in and yes I brought the same wrench off of Amazon. It has 12,000 miles,with it being 3 yrs old I'm sure it never been changed and I'm sure the filter is pretty brown.
nice! your bike will love it
Thanks, Just ordered the tool and will be changing mine next week !
thats great Ed..grateful to help!
Hey bud, I've don that and my fuel sending module 3 times on my 06 Ultra flhtciu. The little tit broke off on the fuel sending mount. Thank you youtube! I dot my hoses backwards twice, which is not hard to do, following hd's service manual. Finally, I got it and should be good to go for another 65K. I haven't had it out this year as I copped a brand new Tri Glide Ultra. Love it and now I am going to watch you and compare mental notes with myself...
This may have been responsible for the low MPG and power of my '89 Electraglide Classic when I sold it, and I didn't even consider it. Good video!
It could have been, specially on a 89...you can run these forever but they will eventually starve your engine and create low fuel milage as well.
Wow, about to hit 83k on my 2017. I'll replace mine for sure. Thanks Steve.
Yes sir...gla to help! And thank you for checking it out Dan!
Changed my fuel filter after watching your video and went exactly as you stated. The filter was absolutely filthy and the lock pin was very difficult to remove. 08 FLHTC and I'm sure the filter is the same from the factory.
yes glad to help! Im sure that filter had never been changed...youre throttle response should be way better now.
Wow, that is so much easier than my 06 Ultra! Great vid!
😮😮 you said bad words😂
I didn’t even know where the fuel filter was on my 2017 ultra limited. Thank you🇨🇦
LOL yes sir...youtube may ground me for a few days...glad the video helped you! Super easy to do and quite essential, specially before the suggested 100k.
Thanks…only have 15000 miles on my 2013 Trike but I’ll save this for later.
You’re welcome! I hope it helps!
You are a great help. I do all things on my bike just by watching you brother! Keep up the good content. Very professional and easy to watch! A true pleasure.....Subscribed and on my radar always.
Thank you David...much appreciated!
I didn't see the screen when the video started and I thought it was John Goodman lol. Great video, thank you.
Hahaha lots of comment's saying that...i just dont hear it but I guess there is something there ,,,thanks for checking it out!
Oh wow. That filter was definitely black 😮 this is now on my to do list. Thanks for the video bro 🤙🏼
Glad to help! Your bike will thank you for it!
Great video. Tells me exactly how to change my filter. Saves me $.
glad to help dale!
Great video with out all the extra bull. Very much appreciated, Thanks
thank you sir..much appreciated.
I just stumbled across you channel and this was first video I watched. Thanks for the great video. I will most definitely be changing out my filter now. Thanks for the tips. You do an awesome job with your how to. I am a new subscriber and I look forward to many more of your videos. Take care!
Thats awesome and glad to help! thanks for the sub as well...much appreciated! Be safe!
Thanks Steve for another great video, here is a little info just to put this into a bit of perspective, if you were to run your bike to 100,000 miles and you are getting 42 mpg, that little tiny fuel filter would have had 2,380 gallons of fuel pass through it, I can’t imagine why HD would recommend that kind of mileages to replace that small filter at. Even at 40,000 miles you will pass 952 gallons of fuel through it. For $20.00 at HD just replace it and protect your $35,000.00 investment.
You’re absolutely right, for $20 it’s a no brainer to keep those gallons of fuel flowing clean!
I just changed mine with 39,119 miles on it and it was BLACK, for $20.00 for the filter with O-ring and the other gasket that under fuel cap assembly for $9.00, both at my Harley dealer, now the throttle snaps right to it when I crack it.
Thank u for showing and making it a point that it needs to be done before that I just put 40000 on my 2018 and I am definitely going to do it asap thank u again
Glad the video helped! Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome video, informative and straight to the task , I just subscribed, thanks for taking the time to make these videos !
thank you very much Tim..much appreciated and glad to help!
Great Video with exceptional camera work. Just changed the fuel filter on my 09 SEUC. Very dirty. My friend has a 06 Dyna with 65K we had to change his because the bike would not start. Starving for fuel. Thanks. CAHDBIKER
Hye glad to video helped and got the bike back on the road!
Fantastic how to video! Great job!

This is just wanted I needed. Going to do it today.
Glad to help and thanks for checking it out!
Greetings from southern Indiana. Great video Steve. I'm doing mine now on a 09 ultra I got with 65k on the clock. I just had to tap those brass inserts for the inner faring windshield. Damn near lost the Shorty windshield in the wind. Lol
