I have the same set but the first 3 lights go out within 20-30 miles after a fill up.

Let me know how you like it!
OOF!...I was so excited about finding a backrest for less than a new seat w/one on it,coupled with a few Makers Marks neat, I COMPLETELY failed to notice that...Thanks for setting me straight...

I bet the regulars here were taking odds on how long it would take me to notice that, or be publicly flogged by you...

I've got those LED's, before I did the tank lift they were pretty accurate.. the low-fuel light would come on after I had done about 20 miles with 1 LED bulb remaining.. now that I did the tank lift they drop down a lot quicker even though I have fuel in the tank, so I don't really trust them anymore

Being that the wifes Sportster only has a range of 100-120 miles I guess I really never need to worrie how accurate my fuel indicators are.

The sevice guy told me they could do it in a few weeks, I told him I didnt have a few weeks. They did it on the spot for me. My jaw damn near hit the floor when he said they would do it right away. and on a Saturday. Thats the first time Ive walked out of there happy since I bought the bike.
Mine had to be replaced too, it was leaking around the cap. Only 1000 miles on it

They are called C-130's. I got them from Leatherneck Jim's. The pouches on the back I had added on. They can customize them however you want including shorter straps, studs, I think color. Ect. I'm pretty happy with them but I sometimes wish they had a stiffer backing plate and that I would've gone with the shorter straps. Someday I'll probably get some boss bags. Unless I get a streetglide first.
