I'll pile onto the V7 bandwagon. I owned two of them. The second one ('11 V7C) was one of my all-time favorite motorcycles but I couldn't justify a long-term relationship with it due to my local dealer's attitude and ineptitude. I never had an issue with the fuel filter, nor did I have any concerns about it, but the bike did have the infamous plastic tank which swelled due to the ethanol in our fuel supply and made servicing difficult. The engine was cold blooded but ran strong once up to operating temperature. Loved that motorcycle. In its place is my DLX, which is an outstanding motorcycle too, but it's a bit too perfect (refined?) and lacks the visceral charm of the V7.
