Why won't my Honda VTX1300S motorcycle start?

The problem usually happens right after I fill her up with gas. I get the motorcycle home just fine but the next day it won't start. I fill the tank to the brim, could this be causing my emmission tank filled with charcoal to get wet with overflow gas and clog up? I also notice at high speeds running at idle I get alot of backfire. Does this sound like a bad emmissions system to you?

Not sure but it would not matter if you fill it to the brim as there is an overflow anyway. try installing a fuel filter on your line.The backfiring could be a plug or a bad carb or fuel injector.
