Have you tried G
GLE?
Fuel Gauge at Motorcycle Superstore
NOTE: Honestly the fuel gauges are not accurate or worth it IMO. Most people stick to mileage as it is more accurate and reliable. Even on bikes that I have had with a gas gauge, 1/4 tank could mean I was empty or was at a half tank. I never trusted it. I don't even really use mileage anymore. I look in my tank, if I can't see gas, its time to fill up.

Franco is correct. Just reset your odometer after fill up. I go 150 miles per tank. When I hit 150 it usually takes between 3-3.5 gallons to fill my tank to the top. Just depends on where I am, city or highway, flat or hill country on my bikes mpg. Since I went to this system I have yet to run out of fuel!

Franco, if you can't see the gas because it's dark, use a lighter!:roll:Have you tried G

I haven't run out of gas but I'd still like to have an indicator better than just the idiot light on my K-9.
Since I am fuel injected I am going to build my own fuel gauge based off a design already done on the internet at ecomodders -- basically it reads the amount of time the injector is on and does the math -- this is usuallly very accurate once setup since it measures fuel that has come out of the tank not where some silly float is.
I might get energetic and replace the entire digital dash with a unit with this feature using an Arduino (examples are already on the net) Could add almost any sensor/display you'd want
oil psi
oil temp
head temp
mpg/fuel left
gps (also theft deterrent/pager)
options are endless even without getting a huge display that would belong on a bagger!
Actually I am working on a mod for this design that will work on carb bikes as well. Probably not quite as accurate but will be pretty close -- stay tuned)

did you ever find fuel quantity indicator solution for carb bikes?

No - haven't really been working at all on that as I haven't been riding my carb bike lately. Will let you know if I do. Winter is coming and then when I work on that kind of stuff.

Actually think I just found a solution that someone else has already done.
Check this out.

Uses a sensor and sends the data to a smart phone. I may use this sensor when I build my unit this winter as it will be the same for EFI and carb!
Neat but that looks a bit big to hide on a chopper? That board looks to be about 5" x 4" alone nevermind the Bluetooth. Would need to pot it to keep water out?
Take a stab at it though looks cool

Seems like a lot of trouble and components to go bad just to replace the trip meter.
Sounds lazyMy new bike has a fuel gauge and a low fuel light when it gets low, and the bonus is, its all new digital technology
