It has some rough spots but seems solid.
I won't judge harshly about the Harley, mine is a '99 Fat Boy. The fuel line fittings at the carburetor need no tape or pipe dope, the threads on both of those connections DO NOT SEAL the joint, the larger joint has a copper or plastic gasket, the smaller joint is inverted flare, both rely on compression of the surface to make the seal.
