fuel gauge on Dyna's

Do all Dyna's new and old have fuel gauges? If not, what models and years do and what ones do not?
Thanks,
Larry

RE: fuel gauge on Dyna's

I had a 1980 FXFB (Fat Bob Super Glide) with no fuel gauge. It had a reserve portion in the fuel tank and a reserve position on the fuel valve.Fuel gauges have become morecommon in recent years due tofuel injection.It's not good to run a fuel injected bike out of gas (ask me how I know). A fuel injection system operates under much higher pressure than a carburated system. If it runs completely out of gas (dry) it wreaks havoc on the fuel system. In the not to distant future, all bikes will be fuel injectedso I guess we might as well get used to it.

RE: fuel gauge on Dyna's

The reason is that I am looking into buying my first Harley and some of the Dyna's I see on ebay look like they don't have fuel gauges and some do. I want one. Just trying to find out which one have it. I know that 2007's do. Maybe the fuel injection thing mentioned in a reply. Please advise.

Thanks,
Larry
