+===== Fuel Cap =====
+  * All 1983 XL/FXR models produced after VIN (1HD1CCH17DY113282) and FL/FX models produced after VIN (1HD1AKK16DY011657) use a new low pressure fuel tank cap. The vent relief pressure has been reduced on the screw type fuel caps by utilizing a softer spring. ((HD Service Bulletin #M-859 dated October 29, 1982))
+  * The low pressure cap was suggested for use on any 1982 FXR/FXRS or any early build 1983 model, except FLT/FLHT, produced before the above VINs that experiences a lean condition (carburetor spit, poor performance or surging). which should  eliminate  the  problem. No labor was be paid to the dealer for changing out the caps upon servicing.
+    * The new low pressure cap (61060-82A)for FXR/FXRS can be identified while viewing the inside as having 4 veins (or spokes) instead of 8 with the high pressure cap (61060-82).
+    * For all other models, the new low pressure cap (61102-83A) can be identified by pressing down on the relief vent with a pencil, pen etc. The low pressure cap has a weaker spring than the high pressure cap (61102-83) beneath the relief vent in the center and the difference in spring pressure can be felt.
+===== Petcock (or Fuel Outlet) =====

+**Inspection** \\
+You can inspect the screen / filter with a flashlight thru the filler hole in the top of the tank to determine if it needs cleaning or repair. \\
+If the filter is OK, you can inspect / rebuild the petcock without uninstalling it from the fuel tank. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/145874-dismantle-and-inspect-the-petcock?t=1583571))
+====== Mounting Brackets ======
+Below is a "U" shaped bracket used on 1982 XLS and E1983 XL models. \\
+There were two different part numbers for the bracket (82 XLS 61036-82 and E83 XL 61036-82A). \\
+The only visual difference appears to be the inside weld of the rubber mount stud. \\
+However, either part number will work for these models. \\
