THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON 5 OCCASIONS, I TRY TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. TWICE I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BOTH TIMES. HARLEY NO LONGER EVEN ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE NEWER MODELS DO NOT USE THE SAME SET-UP. *TR
