Fuel line inside of motorcycle gas tank IS too long on earlier models of H-D fuel injected motorcycles. In time, vibration wears a small hole in this line, causing the motor to stall out when stopping. In early 2004 I had to brake suddenly and the bike stalled. The car behind came very close to rear-ending me. Before I realized what happen, he was only a short distance from my rear tire. I pulled in the clutch and quickly let it out to start the bike again but was in fourth or fifth gear so I had to quickly down-shift to first to get moving again. The car behind me got even closer as I was doing this (all this happened in a second or two). It's amazing how fast a motorcycle decelerates when the motor quits. The bike stalled out numerous times that summer and the following two years (2005 & 2006). If a car was too close to the motorcycle when this happened, I could've been rear-ended. I took the bike in for this problem but the H-D dealer could not repeat it because (i realized the following year) it only did this when the gas tank got below 3/8 of a tank. When I originally took it in for service, I dropped it off with a full tank. Only three years later did I get it serviced at a H-D dealer that they told me it has been happening to all the early fuel-injected models and that H-D corrected the problem on later models (mine IS a 2001 fatboy). H-D refuses to pay for my service ($153) and I believe this should be a recall item. It IS truly a safety issue and will only be a matter of time before a harley rider IS killed because of it (if it has not happened already). *Jb
