I had a 3 inch lift on mine, which is shown in my sig pic and album. I swapped it out for a 2 inch kit which is shown in the thumbnail. The 3 inch kit threw my gauge off by a lot. I haven't been able to ride it with the 2 inch kit on it yet, but I'm guessing it wont be as bad. Either way, use your odometer. Its much more reliable.

You have to open up the tank under the console and remove the sending unit.
I put a half gallon in then I bent the float rod right by the sending unit (the rod has a "V" shape angle there). I opened that angle up a little, reinstalled sending unit and with the bike upright and my weight on it, I recycled the power and run switch and waited for the gauge to settle (theres a delay in the circuit). I had to do this several times to get it right where I wanted it.
Now when the low fuel light comes on I have a half gallon left. Also when my gauge is now reading a half tank and I top it off I usually pump in about 2.2 to 2.3 gallons (4.7 gallon tank)
While your in there you might as well check your internal fuel lines, info here:
