...the new 6 gallon gas tanks when filling up?  It's nice having the extra range, but most times when I fill it up, gas splashes out on the tank no matter how careful I try to be.  And it seems almost impossible to actually fill the tank all the way ...Anyone have any tricks to avoid the problem??

WVULTRA:
Might be why MoCo is pushing these:

That's interesting.  I recently watched an episode of American Chopper  :embarrassed: where they built a bike for a company called McCuff, and that looks exactly like the item they sell and was featured in the build. Mikey used it the first time and spilled gas all over some dudes bike.  I wonder if McCuff makes this for Harley, or if Harley copied it for themselves??  Seems like a pita to have to carry around and use ...if it works.

Faast Ed:
I saw the McCuff thing.  My same thoughts, looks like a pain to carry around. I would hate to put something all smelling of gas in my saddlebag.
Looks the same as the HD version.

Couple of newly rich guys behind those. Who'd a thunk it.  They must love those new style gas tanks!

that's just like the moco to dream up another product to sell you instead of correcting the problem in the first place. they knew the problem was there on the 08 bikes, but did they do anything about it on the 09's?
a resounding NO.
