Oh, besides the skull with teeth, you can have plain dome, HD emblem, Cross, Sixshooter, Flames and maybe one other. HD and Kuryakyn carry them.
I, too, am a marine engineer, and you can run a clear tube from the bottom of the tank to the top, it doesn't matter how long or what it's path is, you will get an accurate level reading, but really, do you want to carry gasoline outside of your tank? That will certainly raise the excitement level in case of a collision. (The top of the tube must return to the tank, a closed-end tube is nothing more than an air trap that will never give an accurate reading.) The best idea I've heard, besides replacing the tank with one containing a float, is a cap that has float-and-screw attached to its bottom so the float will sit in the gasoline. Wish I new where to find one.
