Take a look at Dakota digital (I can read my fat bob speedo while riding, so unsure specifically what issue you are referring to)

Which model at Dakota digital did you look at?

Both the compatible models mlx-2000 and mvx-2011 state "Fuel Level on 2018 - newer if factory equipped." I interpret that as it having a fuel gauge for 2018+ fat bob .

What other function are you missing?

Interesting. From their site, the 4.5" ones are the ones that show up for the softtails (and Dyna)

Edit: You can just give em a call and confirm
