I removed gas cap and turned the ignition on, bubbles in my tank. Could this cause the problems I am seeing?

Absolutely, you have a hole(s) rubbed in the fuel line.
You are not getting enough fuel pressure.
Good find, time to remove and replace. There's threads here that address the pinhole issues.

any links or advice on how to replace lines?
Take a look in the self help section under fuel and carb related issues.
I've also seen some pretty good videos on Youtube.

Pulled fuel assembly, one of the lines did not have a clamp and came loose when I pulled out of the tank. Don't see any holes in the lines but the loose line was probably causing a pressure drop to the one cylinder. Will update when I put back together!
If you heard/saw bubbles in the tank you have a hole or the clamp being loose was the cause of the bubbles. Either way you arent getting the fuel pressure you need.

My mistake, on this model there is a return line. I seem to have a fuel regulator inside the tank like the 2002 models do. Talked to HD they are as confused as I am! The 2001 model has an external regulator. I will take tank off and check fuel injectors with a meter and plug wires and injectors and wires for a fault. I keep hearing from my local dealer that the 2001 injection had lots of problems even suggesting return to a carb bike, but this bike has 70000 miles without serious problems.
