Hello, is there a solution for the fuel gauge for a 1998 softail heritage, besides counting miles?

 

There are available solutions , how about a damned clue as to your particular problem so we can help you .?

 

I think he's asking what his options are to put a fuel gauge on his Heritage

 

Spicy, aren't we? My particular problem is this..... I have a 1998 heritage, and it has no fuel gauge. Hence, my question.

 

I hear you Tailbreaker.

 

Sorry Bro., I didnt realise that your 98 actually has no fuel gauge .
I have checked all i have access to., and it seems that there is no part available for the 98 ?! I find this very strange but apperantly it is true.
However ... there are suppliers of " fit to suit " float and gauge kits out there. Im in Ontario Canada and there is a kit here for $40.00 !
Let me know if you are interested and i will help etc.

 

It's cool, upon further review, I did not adequately explain myself. I need to work on my posting skills. I would be interested in any solution to this nagging problem. What is this kit? Thanks!

 

Here's a thought........ ride until the bike sputters, then switch to reserve. You then have one gallon to get to a gas station. It worked just fine for the last few decades.

 

Modernization might be what he's wanting.

Have gotten use to having a fuel gauge on this bike, when it went out I got it fixed. Would not have given a S%$# about it
a few years ago.
Don't think I could beat machineheds sources

Good Luck

Again .. sorry for the " spice " but you initally sounded like one of the " broken bike and i now have to buy a new one " types .!
Dont know how they show up here on a vintage site ???

Ok... 98 Harley with no factory supplied fuel gauge ., go figure eh.?
There are " universal kits " available where you can install and calibrate your own float etc. to match the included gauge but they are desighned for the automotive industry . I have seen them and they should be applicable to bike tanks as they seem to be small enough to fit into the fuel inlet.
You would have to experiment with these units to fit etc.
They are available to google for your particular area.
You can also make your own fuel sending unit for approx. $ 40.00.
Your choise .
Im here if you need any help to do .
