- Fuel/propulsion system
PLASTIC FUEL TANKS SWELLS. HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BY HARLEY DAVIDSON, HOWEVER, THE TANKS ARE REPLACED WITH THE SAME ITEM/PART NUMBER. AFTER EACH TANK REPLACEMENT THE SWELLING CONTINUES WITH THE NEW TANK. I AM CONCERNED THAT NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THE TANK WILL NO LONGER BE REPLACED AND THAT EVENTUALLY THE SWELLING WILL LEAD TO CRACKING AND FUEL SPILLAGE WITH A FIRE OR CRASH RESULTING. *TR
