Default Aftermarket Fuel Gauge 4 Sporty?

Hey gang...I'm looking for an aftermarket fuel gauge for my '93 Sporty. Something digital would be nice but beggars cant be choosers. I currently have no gauge or any hardware or wiring for one. I'd need a complete setup. Any ideas? Suggestions? Comments?

Cheers!
- Dan

Most folks use their odometer / tripmeter. Works fine and doesn't cost a cent.

I use the trip odometer. Once you get used to it, there is no need for a fuel gauge. If you find one, let me know. It would be cool anyway.

To be honest, it will be nice to have one but I don't really need one. I fill up every 150miles by watching the trip odometer, never had problem.

While I agree with the trip meter method, that wasn't my question. Its about preference - not necessity. I would prefer to have a gauge. Ideas?

i open up the tank and see how high the gas level is. i learned to be able to tell how far a certain amount will get me. and im dangerously low when i hear the engine reverbrating in the empty space of the tank.

a guage would be nice. i would like to put a speedo and tach on the bike, and have a tiny gas guage in between them.

This question comes up every couple of months and the answer is always the same, your SOL.

Nobody answer your question because there is none in the market I believe.
