2 questions.
1. it appears that my FLHTCUSE8 is not as hot as my previous 2010 FLHTCU when I had the cat in. The new bike is totally stock and I was wondering if HD changed the cat in anyway? Like I said, it isn't that hot.
2. I am use to the stupid baffle in the tank that is a pain to get completely full.  And I knew how to fill my 2010 however my new 2013 seems to have a new issue where I need to shake the bike a little before I can squeeze my fuel in to get it to the top. Is anyone else having this issue or do I have a vent issue or something else?

I guess after 15 years with Harleys and the progression with hotter and hotter engines, I guess Im just use to the heat and it is all part of the beast.  Im still going to replace the head pipe with my Jackpot that I took off my 2010 before I traded it in. 
As far as the tank issue, I guess Im the only one that is experiencing my issue?  Maybe my vent is kinked?

I took my cat off and went straight to the V&H true duals.  But on your gas tank yes I have the same issue and was the same on my street glide.

The gas issue is the same thing I experience.  Pisses my wife off when I wiggle the bike to burp it 3-4 times towards the end of filling, but that extra gas is another 20-30 miles for me.  There could very well be a vent issue because if I filled the last bike all the way and then parked it, gas would piss out of the vent and drip onto the hot exhaust (why I am still alive is a mystery).  Anyway, this bike doesn't vent any gas after filling and then parking.  Maybe it was a design change, maybe it is a vent issue.  Bike runs fine either way though.

At my 1000 mi service i will ask them to check the vent and tube.
