Excellent addition to any 07 bagger. You would agree if you installed it.

Is it just me being a little paranoid, skeptical or nitpicky, but that fuel pump filter is PLASTIC. Plastic is a petroleum product, it outgasses (no pun intended) i.e. drys out and fatigues when stressed. It was used as a low cost alternative only on carbureted fuel systems with low 5-9 psi fuel pump pressures early on.

But in the modern world of fuel injection (in the automotive world anyway), I do not recall anyone using plastic fittings or fuel filters, considering fuel pressures of 50-80 PSI, and the harsh high temperature, high vibration environment they live. Sometimes solid metal fuel injection line used short lengths of fuel injection hose ONLY to ease service using special clamps and such in easily accessed areas for replacement...looks like plenty of room for the aftermarket vendors here...if rider survives to replace it!
