Gas guages for Sporties just don't seem to exist. Your not the first to look for one.

Trip odometer works just fine, in fact in most cases it will be more accurate.

The odometer tripmeter is my gas gauge. Figure fill-up around 120 miles for an 883 with a 3.3 gallon tank, before it goes to reserve.

Even on my Softail with a gas gauge I reset the odometer with every tank and keep track of it.

Of course, on my Sportster that is a requirement and works very well (plus reserve doesn't hurt as a warning either).
