Yesterday I decided to hit "Hot August Nights" classic/custom car show in Reno and old Virginia City, NV. I decided to take my 2014 Harley CVO breakout..show a little bling as we toured the event. I pull into the breakfast diner. I smell gas. I look and the gas is pouring out from the fuel line under the tank. Not dripping...streaming. I received a major ribbing from my pals who all were on metrics and 1 Ducati.
Good news is I was only 5 min from a Harley Dealer. I called and left a message 30 minutes before they opened. Within 20 minutes they arrived with an F250 with a cradle snatching ramp...took it to the dealer. I purchased this bike a year ago with only 900 miles on it. It now has 1400. The problem was a failed Oring on the 90 degree fuel connection part under the tank. Service tech said this part is known to fail over time due to dry rot. Anyway, I jumped on the back of my friend's Honda to go get my reliable F6B. Day saved. :rolleyes:
