Has anyone done a fuel gauge mod? If so how and what did you use?

I guess I'm lazy, because I like knowing how much is in my tank at a glance.

Oh I'll figure it out, one thing I am not short of is imagination.

Lambrettas from the 1950s (2stroke scooters from Italy) had a fuel cap with a built-in fuel gauge, it was very basic yet very dependable; little more that a very long fuel cap with an integral float that would push a needle. The nice thing was you could see at a glance how much fuel you had ; the bad thing was it never had the locking cap option, and with the first fuel crisis of 1972 punks would syphon all your gas at night.  
AND... it was fitted under the seat   ???

Anyway, I'm sure that somebody will think up the modern equivalent to the Lambretta's system

I keep a very small handlebar bag and in it a small notebook i fill up every 100 miles and write down the mileage. very easy and also affords me a place for small storage, gloves, wallet, keys, change, etc. it's a no brainer

When I first learned to ride,( at least a hundred years ago) you stradled the bike and shook it to see how much gas it had. Even though I use a lipstick pencil to write my mileage down on the speedometer glass, I still shake the tank. The first time Hubby saw me do that he nearly fell over laughing. Now both daughters do it and we are a great source of fun to him.

i just get monkee butt, then open tank, strike match and look in.
