Default Fuel guage

I have a 98 XL1200C

Im looking for a Fuel Gauge for the bike but I haven't been able to find one due to the fact that i have the stock fuel tank.

any suggestions.

Pay close attention to your miles,much better than a fuel gauge anyway.

You won't find one...none made for the stock tank. Something may turn up, ya never know...hope someone hears of one and posts it. Your odometer is still your best fuel gauge.

Using your miles only works when you remember to do it. I miss a gauge on my sportster big time. I am so glad that at least I have a carb so I can flip the switch if I run out.

No such animal that I've ever seen. There are other tricks that can be done in lue of a guage. heck, I have a guage on my road king and I still use my odometer. I trust it more. A fuel guage is merely a suggestion.
