This should tell you what you need to know https://www.hdforums.com/m_66687/tm.htm

You bend the rod to get the right indication on the guage/

I think what I would do being as **** as I am is to empty the tank completely and put in exactly half the quantity that the tank holds and adjust the rod by bending until the guage reads 1/2 full or 1/2 empty , which ever you prefer
These guages are not that acurate on most bikes, but just give you an idea of aproximately how much gas you have.
