I like my Sigma Bike Computer.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BCG9EK/ref=asc_df_B003BCG9EK2205876?smid=ATVPDKI..
.
Serves both as the trip-o-meter and as a speedometer. I have it mounted in the middle of my handle bars. much easier to see than the speedometer on the tank. I just fill up every 100 Miles.
Here is a good install tutorial

The install tutorial has no pics.

Gas in the crotch is really not good, next thing you know people start sniffing there asking if its Ethyl (to paraphrase an olde joke).

TCLOCKS. Get in the habit of popping the gas cap and checking your gas level when you first get on of a day for one thing along with the tires oil level etc.
I use a luggage lock mostly but add the GPS with trip meter for longer trips.

Too much gas in it & ya risk gas leaking on your, uhh, leg.
What JOG states might be true ? Has anyone ever experienced(with our bike) a problem by filling the tank close the top ? Now if I interpret JOG's statement in a different way Too much gas(of the non-liquid internal type) - I know that feeling and the risk of leaking on your leg(I know that feeling, as well)

Yeah- It'll take about 2.92 gals. to fill to the neck... is bad to fill that much tho. Expanding of the fuel might cause it to pee on ur leg or worse onto your hot motor ssssssssssssspppooof.
She likes it when I shake she gently before I ride her
just to see if she's ready- either way I usually fill her... at 100 miles

That's why she's rated a 2.8 gallon tank... you don't fill yer' coffee cup right to the rim either...
... or do you?... (well, knock it off dummy!... just pour yourself another cup if you need more)...
