Fuel gauges and sender units
. I recived from the post today a used fuel gauge #75049-88B and also a sender unit #75062-90. They are in good shape and they work fine. Lookes like a new fuel gauge #75049-01A and also a new sender unit 75062-01 was used from the 2001 models and forward. I think maybe they are improved in quality. The Kuryakyn LED fuel gauge looks nice....and also their matching fuel cap.

I'm glad this thread is still alive. It's very helpful and super important in deciding whether to swap my Low Rider stuff for a bigger Wide Glide tank. Fortunately I now know that the Low Rider tank is the worlds most valuable gas tank Harley has ever made! Glad I kept it. Too bad my speedo went kaput!
Thanks but i got restless after a while . I recived from the post today a used fuel gauge #75049-88B and also a sender unit #75062-90. They are in good shape and they work fine.

Ha, I just got the same. I got a used sending unit 75062-90 but found a brand new gauge 75049-88B for $65 on ebay. Also ordered up fuel tank trim panel, and that completes the parts I need for the tank conversion! I'll be working on this starting late Jan, early Feb.
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but I have no idea how to wire up the fuel sending unit and gauge. Does the gauge get power from the main harness somehow? Where does the power line run from, inside the tank? Will my FXDX harness wire up correctly to everything on the FXDL tank/dash? I realize I may have to modify some wire lengths, just want to make sure it will all work though, like swapping to the smaller FXDL idiot light console.

Not really sure what the major difference is in the fuel sending units for the 2000 parts list and the 2001 and newer, but the part numbers are different. I assume if you match up the fuel gauge from the same year(s) all should work fine since the tank is the same from 96-03. Wonder if the wiring is different.

When I did mine I dim't have to adjust any wire lengths. Take off the connector ends and feed the wire throught the hole on the left and then put the end back on then itwas just plug and play. I bought the fuel guage used from pinwheel cycle. They are on ebay, quick shipping just take a good look at the pix before you buy. They don't do returns.
