I have the same one! The only thing I'm not crazy about is the gas cap leaves a little for desire in the whole "flush" idea. It seems there is always part of it sticking up. Usually o the inside next to the console, so at least I'm the only one who sees it.

Sounds like we have the same problem, except I rotated it the other way so it sticks up on the outside toward the tank. Still looks pretty well I think. Pretty expensive upgrade.

I just installed it today, but this is the first time I've ever seen a full tank reading and my mileage till empty is correct 185 miles. If you get it a little caution on the instructions either my bike is wired incorrectly or the directions are wrong. Took me a couple hours to figure that out but it works now.

Yeah that really is the only reason so much money and it doesn't quite fit. They are on to stay regardless

the lights go out as the fuel goes down. when I have about 3/4 of a gallon left i have one remaining light that stays on til almost empty. In canada we are metric (not by choice) One time it was dark and I'm way out in the woods on a small highway and that last light disappeared just as I found a service station and I filled up 19.3 litres of a 20 litre tank. whew that was a close one. so ya it does actually work well. + i have a 2" tank lift.

Thank you! Damn I love her too! That exhaust is a bub7 2:1 great power maker, loud as f..k when you get on it! Yet quiet enough at idle not to attract too much unwanted attention.that is until I had the big bore kit with stage II cams done, then it was incredibly loud! So i bought a supertrapp2:1, guess I should get a new photo.

I love that pipe, that's why I can't sell it , in case some day I say fu.k the cops and the tickets i'll just be careful <--- that's how I get tickets.
