    My 2008 Dyna Super Glide Custom is leaking fuel from the tank and bubbling the paint and there is nothing that can be done untill a new tank they ordered for me comes in in 12 weeks which I will most likely get stuck paying for because Seaford Harley hasent gotten notice of a recall on this bike and mine is the 4th one taken back there for the same problem.Gee im glade it dident burst into flames as i rode.
