2007 FXSTC fuel guage
Hey Gang,
Has anyone been able to remove the fuel guage without removing the fuel tank and if so how. I would prefer not having to screw with the fuel system if possible.
Thanks
Bone

You can remove the gauge without removing the tank. Underneath the tank on the left side, there is a hollow shaft that comes out of the tank. The wires for the gauge are inside of this. Follow it to a clip that holds the wires of the rocker box and unclip it. Then find the plug and unplug it. You can then either cut the wires or using a paper clip take the wires out of the clip. A service manual is excellent for telling you how to remove the wires from the clip. Just left up the gauge, do not twist, to remove the gauge. I never removed the gauge yet, but did disconnect the wires when I removed the tank. Good luck. \\;

You dont have to remove the tank. It helps to loosen or unbolt the tank so that you have some room to move it slightly to get to the wiring connector.

Thank you guys, it seems that every thing I have gotten for this bike that comes even close to the tank the first thing the instructions say is remove the fuel tank, I just got the front signal relocation kit and of course it says remove the tank...lol
Thanks again

After completing the new fuel guage install and seeing how easy it was to pull down the wiring harness, boy do I feel like a real DAH....LOL

For the sake of clarification, what holds the gauge in? Does it just pull out?

RE: 2007 FXSTC fuel guage
Yes if you look straight under the fuel tank down from the guage there is a black cable coming out that is the other end of the guage wiring if you free that cable under the tank the guage will pull straight up and you can remove it, you can free the wires from the connector but you have to be careful as the plastic will damage easily, I just cut this off because the new gauge came with one.
PS I installed the Willie Skull matching gauge and filler cap looks great.
