Harley Heritage fuel gauge problems.
2018 Harley Heritage fuel gauge PROBLEM. I Spent too much money on My 2018 to have Harley say they all have inaccuracies. That Is pure Bulls*#t! That's the mentality that will bankrupt them in the end. I've rented 2 Indians from Eagle Riders that were WELL rode, and everything still worked perfectly. That's probably why Harley bought them out. They didn't want anyone riding Indians for comparisons. And their 111 is still just as fast as my new 114 Heritage. So Harley listen up!!! FIX the problems!!!

People that join the forum just to rant about Harley don't fare well here.
A few things:
1. Harley-Davidson has been around for 115 years. They aren't going bankrupt anytime soon.
2. Harley-Davidson did not buy out EagleRider.
3. You can go to an Indian dealer to ride one for comparison. You don't need EagleRider for that.
My recommendation for you; Trade in your Heritage and buy an Indian.
By the way, you were so overcome by your tirade, you forgot to mention the problem you are having with your fuel gauge.

I, for one, would rather it gave me the reading of "you're out of gas!" when you're not...than the reverse. "Nah, skip that gas station...you've got pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeenty of gas."
All cars drive a bit differently. All bikes ride a bit differently. All vehicles have differences. So the gas gauge is going to read differently in such a small tank from machine to machine. Enjoy the ride. Don't sweat the small stuff.

I allways use mine...when it is getting down to a 1/4 tank I look for a gas station. I'm in Central Florida...gas stations a'plenty. At that point it never takes more than 3 to 3 1/4 gallons. Accurate, NOPE...but good enought to give me an Idea when to start looking. Haven't seen the low fuel light yet.
Hard to use the milage method when my riding habits fluctuate greatly. I go from getting close to 50 MPG (long highway rides) down to as low as 38 MPG (lots of hours doing PLP to improve my slow speed handeling skills). I also bounce back and forth from riding solo to 2 up, that also effect the MPG significantly.
