sail,
You may not like my answer, but since there's a fine screen in the fuel petcock, and in the inlet tube of the carb... I deleted the filter also.
May not be the brightest idea I've had, but there's been no issues yet...

Thanks for all the helpful info for us newbies. If the FP is working and is easy to get to, why remove it unless there is a problem? Am I missing something here? If the FP on my bike does will the bike stop running? I would have loved to remove the FP on my beemer, since it was a 2-3 hour job to replace/change the fuel filter every year. All that tupperware to remove you know. It's so nice just being able to get to things when you need too. Enlighten me, someone please. Thanks.

Removing the fuel pump on the R* simply cleans up the side of the bike and makes one less mechanical part to break down.The bike gas feed is gravity fed when you remove the pump because the tank is higher than the carb inlet ....Coug

I wanted to open up the view to the jugs. I replaced the monster air box on the right side with Mr.Cs universal K&N filter trick too... you can see right through in-between the 2 cylinders!
It looks really cool, is different from all the others, and runs just great.
