read more before you install... the looks comes with a price ... the leds go bad real soon and even the dealership parts guy says they have heard a lot of complains and they wont recommend ...they sell it if someone comes looking for it ... YMMV maybe you you will be the lucky few..

Cool flush mount

Hope I'm clear enough.
Hope this helps . .

all my gauges are on 05 and 06 bikes I dont have the blue "gas pump" on any of my gauges. In fact the one on my roadking is the only one that lights up the low fuel gauge on the speedometer. The 2 that are on my 06 softails the last LED is red and first turns red and then it flashes as low fuel warning...

what did you get to replace it? An after market or did you have them order just the pop up?

HD dealer had the pop-up gas cap in stock.
Bought it seperately from the gauge.

Installed mine pretty easy, just removed the seat loosened the rear of the fuel tank and raised it with a 2X4. Got the wires unplugged and went on from there. And yea, my fuel guage sits at an angle as if it was made on a monday or friday lol
