Default Street Bob Gas Guage?

This topic has probably been beaten to death, but......

My gas range will say I have 15-20 miles left but when I fill up I'm only putting 3.5 - 3.6 gals in leaving me a little over a gallon left. I've read of people bending the lever in the tank to fix this. My question is do I need to remove the tank and fuel pump to do this or do one of you dyna experts have a trick to make it easier? Thanks in advance!

I personally wouldnt bother with it. Mine is the same way, and its nice to know that I have and extra gallon in case I pass a gas station or get lost. Most if not all new cars have a few gallon reserve capacity of a few gallons after it tells you that you're empty. and that extra gallon in your bike's tank is your reserve, and running a fuel injected system dry is not good on the pump.

But if you're a risk taker feel free to ride past the low fuel warning light and pay attention to your trip meter and gauge how many miles you have left based on your normal fuel economy and riding style.
