flush gauge
I just finished up putting on the flush mounted gas capand gauge.The install is simple, the instuctions read a bit harder than it realy is.To those of you attempting it,take your time you will do fine i must say the lookof the tank is HOTa whole lot better than the other brand( read kur,,) lol, thats just my lame *** opionion but the other problems that some have had with the quality of lites going out,,well its winter here and my warranty is sure to be up b4 april when i ride again.I guess im rolling the dice here.Also put on skull mirrors and pegs i will put up pics later ,garage lite aint so great for pics this late in the day ok here are some pics of theinstall i need lessons on picture taking cause i suckor a better camera i think

RE: flush gauge
I really want those flush mounts but i've heard with the stretch tank they don't always get completely flush. Not sure i want to risk $200 to find out that it's true.

However a couple of guys, think it was Live2ride and another guy. Found that if you use something like a hair drier on the plastic trim ring to heat it up a little. It willsoften it enough soyou can reform them to fit perfectly.
They looked very nice once they were fitted properly.

The notes on the flush gas tank pieces say that they will not fit the Deuce tanks. That's because they are stretched and have a slightly different contour.

a heat gun works better, but a hair dryer will do if you have nothing else...

RE: flush gauge
Yea, those things realy do look good. My wife gave me those things for Christmas last year and so far they have held up really good. But I did notice one thing different, in the pictures that niczumbo provided us, your's has a gas pump lit in the middle, mine does not.

RE: flush gauge
I like those myself
but I had trouble in the Harley shop getting the damn thing to pop up.
I guess me and the parts guy didn't know the secret because nobody else has ever said that.

Opening and closing is all in the wrist...LOL...
To make sure closing right, turn until you get resistance on the seal, then push down and turn 1/8th of a turn to flush mount the cap.
Try Zanotti's...should be able to get cheaper than the local dealership!
