Until it rips. Every time pulled mine I gently stretched it. Had it out at least three times, never replaced.

1st don't tell them you're gonna use it on a metric bike.
tell'm your dad is stuck somewhere and you need to take him a replacement.
somewhere=anywhere there's not a HD dealership for a 100 miles.
Hmmm.... Maybe that's why I could never get the dealerships to sell me a takeoff muffler. I tended to tell them what it was for. I think they would claim that they didn't have any.
They should be easier to find on EBay anyway.

I think my Dyna says not to install on any other application than a HD Dyna!

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

That's just a legal thing. Harleys lawyers told them to do that. That way when someone installs one a bike that had previously not leaked oil and suddenly starts hemorrhaging oil when it is installed then they can't sue.

I'd say it's partly an EPA emissions/sound thing.

Update! Finally found a take - off Dyna on Craigs list! Would try to install it this afternoon but it's about 105 degrees in my garage so it will have to wait til' morning when it cools down to 85.

So! To change the needle spacer I have to remove the gas tank, right?

Meh... That aint hard. Turn the petcock off, remove front seat, unbolt, and lift away. You may need to disconnect the speedometer cable (easy just don't get dirt in there), the fuel line, and some electrical stuff.
Whatever you do, be careful not to strip the carb screws. They can be tough.

The tank is the easy part. Just wait until you have to put the carb back on!
There ain't a whole lot of room!

Once you get the tank off, no need to pull the carb unless you have trouble with the screws.

After I did it a half dozen times, I just said to hell with it and did it in place.
If you got a ratchet strap, hook one end on the right upper shock stud, take the strap around the front of the bat box, and hook it to the axle adjuster. tighten till the bat box clears the bottom of the carb.
then it'll be easy to drop the bowl.
