Default Fuel light no longer a problem!?

I just realized something and am wondering if anyone else has noticed the same.

Since I raised the front of my fuel tank 2" on my 2010 Iron, I have not had a single instance of the low fuel light coming on, at all. Prior to this change, that damned thing would come on randomly anywhere from 10-80 miles after a fill up. I got in the habit of refueling at 100 miles, and am still doing the same, but it's been about a month now, I ride about 1000 miles/month, and I haven't seen that little yellow annoyance come on a single time. Maybe I should see how long it takes now.

The first time I complained, the dealer replaced the head unit. When that didn't do anything, I stopped complaining, btw.

Anyone else?

My Nightster's had the fuel light come on at weird times many times and it's 100% stock. The dealer has now replaced the fuel pump to "fix" the problem...for the second time. We'll see what happens when I actually get it back now though.

on my 09 iron before the lift it would come on randomly.Since the 2inch lift I noticed it is alot more consistent now.It comes on between 70 ish and 90 miles depending on how i ride.
