Default fuel sending unit???

so my 04 cvo has an issue with the fuel gauge. once it starts to get to about 3/4 of a tank the needle moves. a lot...like it will bounce between full and 1/2 and it continues all the way to empty (or reserve) I think its a fuel sending unit. are they hard to replace or is it an easy fix for a layman whit out any practical wrenching knowledge

OK, I'll go first. Buy yourself an HD service manual. The cost is apprx 60.00.
It's the best money you will ever spend. To answer your question it is a fairly simple fix if you are mechanically inclined have the needed tools and have a service manual for your bike. Wish I could be more helpful.
