Question, had this speedo installed because I like knowing what gear I'm in and I wanted a tachometer. (I know rookie move) And I love seeing the green 6 light up!! But the gas gauge on here doesn't agree with the gas gauge on my tank. Which one is right?
I have the same speedo and it seems that the gauge on the speedo is more accurate then the tank gauge.
Ignorance is always on my part, but does any one know of a mount that fits my Garmin nuvi 2460 GPS on the handle bar? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure what mount you need but it's important to remember that you need to get one that fits 1.25" bars. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything but that might save you having to return a mount made for the more common 1" bars.
Just a couple of things:
1. I installed flush gas caps w/fuel gauge on my FB myself and if I can do it ANYBODY can.
2. The fuel guage on my flush gas caps is only a very general indicator. The first lights go off (showing fuel used) very quickly. and the last two seem to run forever. So it's just like the old days, I use the odometer.

Neither is right. It's a Harley. Go fill her up, zero out your trip-A, take her for a ride, fill her up, do Trip-A divided by gallons-added, there's your estimated mileage.. multiply that by 4.5 (not 5, leave yourself .5 gallons for safety), and that's how far you can go on a tank, average.. mine is about 190-200 miles per tank, i start looking for fuel at about 160 or so..
and i've definitely got to tear in to that 96". I just don't get the low-end pick up that i want since I mostly cruise about 2200rpms. I don't really want to spend the money building it up to a 107" if i can just throw in some cams (like the Andrews or the TW-777's/555's), and maybe get the heads ported..that 96" will make a good enough amount of power. But I keep telling myself that I wanted to wait until i had about 15000 miles before i invested that kind of money in to it. Oh well..

I just read that fuel moto is testing a TW-222 that works well with 96 or a 103, for add torque in lower rpm bands you should read up on them fuel started a new thread on them, cool stuff
