I've heard both view points, I'd like to slide one on my bike just to prevent possible problems, Will it cause more than it will fix? Just wondering. I'm going with a higher end bikers choice model.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You will be adding a THIRD filter to your system, but if you insist on doing it your "higher end bikers choice model" might work.
You already have a filter on the intake of the petcock and there is another filter at each float valve. Can't imagine why you might need a third filter.
You want to "prevent problems"? Just keep your tank clean and keep fresh gas in there.

i put an inline filter in at the beginning of ownership because of the condition of the tank. the PO painted it and the vapors got inside the tank and the petcock, gumming it up bad. after getting into the tank a little more, somebody had re-lined the tank and left sand in it to get under the lining. i had it sandblasted inside and out and i started from scratch.
i left the filter inline out of paranoia, but have been thinking about removing because everybody is right, there are two filters in the fuel system already. i don't ride that fast and hard, so i don't think it has affected performance of the floats.
