Description of the problem	Vehicle ran great no drive ability issues. I was in the process of installing the harley-davidson fuel level sensor to the fuel pump assembly. Which is a harley-davidson part to go with the harley-davidson tachometer. When i removed the fuel pump i found that the ground wire from the fuel pump connector was melted from an overloaded electrical circuit inside the gas tank. Knowing that this condition could cause a fire or an explosion in the right conditions. I immediately notified the harley-davidson dealership i just bought the harley-davidson accessories from and i inquired about tsb or recalls regarding this extremely dangerous situation and was advised to contact harley-davidson customer service directly. After spending my personal time advising the rep about the situation, he was not concerned at all regarding this issue. Now being that i was an ase master service technician for years, i know this isn't right and that the rep was in the wrong. I have pictures of the pump and i ordered a whole new pump assembly to fix this dangerous situation. I would strongly advise that this be investigated, before i hear about it on the news, because a bike caught fire or someone died in a a fire caused from a faulty electrical system.
