Digital Fuel Gauge Install On Harley-Davidson Sportster 

Hey I know this video is 3 years old, but I found it extremely helpful. I have a 2017 HD 1200T Sportster Superlow that does not have a fuel gauge. I went to my first motorcycle rally in Puerto Penasco Mexico this past weekend and had to keep a very close eye on my mileage by using my trip meter. I think having a fuel gauge might have lessened my anxieties about running out of gas and being a burden on the folks I was riding with. The way you explained everything step by step, makes me think I could do this repair to my bike….maybe 😊

Perfect video quality. Great tutorial. Refreshing to see someone do a quality job while commenting on the attention to detail.

Great video 👍thanks for your great lighting and information and for not playing loud music...keep up the great work 👍 you have the best how to work on your Harley videos that I have ever seen...👍👍👍💯💯💯⚡⚡⚡🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🏁🏁🏁

Excellent job and video...thanks for sharing!!

Great video and super detailed.

Thats a 10/10 instructional video thanks mate.

Great video! I feel confident enough to install mine now and I am kinda sure how to install my Digital Gear Indicator for my 2015 Iron but if there is any possible way you guys can make a video of that you would have no idea how grateful people would be.

I absolutely love mine on my 2018 forty eight. I have a 2 inch tank lift and oddly enough it is still insanely accurate! I know the 2014+ wants to use the pigtail but I didn't have to on mine. A little tip to get the one way washers off without making a booboo is to pry it up a small amount and then snip it with wire cutters or a small tin snip and it will come right off. Whatever works best at the time!

Very well done, well explained, you could go on as a teacher

Nice job on the install and explaination of the making it happen. I'm looking at an 883, or, a 1200 Sportster. Definitely want a fuel gauge on the bike! Doug🏍️👍

Thank you for posting this awesome video - I’m about to do a similar upgrade to my 2008 XL1200L, except I’m replacing the “classic” analog speedometer with the newer replacement version and will also need to swap out the fuel sensor/sending unit...you have a new subscriber.

big job. great video

very helpful dude very helpful

Tip, just twist the tail off the zip tie with lineman’s pliers. Smooth finish.

Yes brother it’s good information to me also cause my 2017 super low have no show fuel lower indication so it’s helpful to me.

The orange wire off the harness that comes from the sending unit that mounts on the master cylinder at the front brake is a power wire that has to be connected to a switched power supply. My 2011 XL1200N Sportster didn't need to use the wiring harness that is shown in this video. I just pulled out the resistor in the harness and plugged in the new harness and ran the orange wire to a white striped orange wire that went to what looked like an accessory plug that was under the side cover. My low fuel warning light still works but that thing comes on way to soon. There is still a lot of fuel in my tank when that comes on. I like this gage. It looks good and I think is more accurate than the warning light. HD could do a little better with the wiring instructions, like telling you that orange wire is for switched power.

First year out and i've ran out twice. One time i was going down the highway and boom died. Great video tanks i mean thanks..

great video and then doesn't work of the original low fuel waring light after instal the Digital Fuel Gauge kit? thanks so much

Hi.. Great video and super detailed. Please send me the link of the led digital gauge you installed. very nice and not in the way gauge hahaha. hope you reply

Great video! Will it fit for old 1987 883 sportster? Thanks

I know this is old but was there fuel in the tank when I removed the lines of so does it leak or not to worry?

Before starting this procedure did you do anything else, such as pull the fuse or disconnect the battery or put the key switch to ON or anything else (to disengage the alarm, for example)? Thanks.

Thank you sir !

The fuel gauge should be a basic inclusion with any bike!!! And not an optional extra imho…20grand bike and no fuel gauge wow….but good video though!!!

This is an incredibly detailed video, super helpful, I do have a question, if I were to change the tank later on, and the fuel pump fit the new tank would the gauge still work?

Is it possible to use a touring fuel gauge instead of the led one with this kit?

Could the gauge be used on an 06 carburetor model?

Hi. I have a question. Where can I buy the fuel gauge?

Is it possible to add a fuel gauge to a 2005 Harley sportster 1200 custom ????

Would this work on an 01 sportster 883 custom

Can I do the same on my 2003 VTX1800C , is fuel injection.

the seat locks that way because the momentum of the bike is going to push your body backwards... keeping the seat locked in... if it was the other way around... you'd end up with your seat coming off the post.

I have an 2004 Sportster custom with no fuel and I am obsessed with with Fuel gauge.. only issue is that it will not fit my bikes master cylinder. If I get a new master cylinder for a more recent bike would it fit? Or what else would I have to buy? Thanks so much! Great video!

Will this fit on my 05 Sportster i have no gauge at all

Does the tank have to be empty before performing the install? Thanks! Great, helpful video!!

I can't find the plug where the gauge harness plugs into. 🤔

Tapped Out Cycles

1:21 great video but my kit supplied by Harley did not come with the jumper leads to connect to the diagnostics plug. I only have the orange wire to connect but have no idea where too

hey man what was the amazon link for the flush cutter and stripper combo?

Hello from Sweden! Does this item fit a H-D Sportster -06? I don’t have the fuel pump inside the tank etc.. Great video btw 🙏🏼

I have a 2006 883 custom, is It the same install? Same parts and connections? Or because it's a carburated model It has diferences? Thanks

Is it can install 07 xl883r?

I am assuming this will not work for the 2006 carb model sportster XL 1200C with the standard petcock assembly.

Great video. Used it to install on my 2007 Harley Davidson Sportster 883. Everything is hooked up properly but no lights on the gauge. I know I have to the the ECM module flashed to get the low fuel indicator like to work properly on the speedometer. If I get the ECM module flashed, will this also light up the gas gauge?

Where can I buy this digital fuel gauge kit you installed on this sportster? I would like to do this install on my 2012 Sportster 48.

I have a 2013 XL883L ordered the kit for my bike but did not get the pigtail. What color wire on the diagnostic port do I splice it into? Wire colors in DLC port is black, green and grey. Stuck in this point. Can’t find diagram on internet. Please help stuck at this point after all was done. Thank you.

Quick question, I'm not a big fan of the digital display, I like gauges more, could one wire it to a gauge instead of the display or will that not work?

I have fitted this followed your video, on a 2017 iron 883, but I have the fuel light staying on now , is there something I have forgot, thanks

Where's the link to those clippers/strippers?

Hello i have my 883 sporster bur my Fuel gauge is always flashing. By any chance do you know what could be the problem???

I know this is an older video, but I really need to do this. I can't find a link to the gauge kit and the site is Temporarily Closed. Can anyone help me out?

I did this exact job on my 2015 Sportster Iron XL 883N and got a B2119 DTC which says" Fuel pump output overload. fuel pump failure or short to ground in fuel pump power circuit." But I still have my Vance and Hines FP3 tuner plugged in and the bike shut off 1/2 mile from house. cleared the code and it cranked and run till I got back to he house and it died again. got same DTC code again B2119. How do I fix this problem? I connected the orange wire to the red( looks red to me) with yellow stripes, the other wire sets are red and with blue stripes and black solid. Display seems to work fine. Am I going to have to remove pump again to check wiring? Won't run long after clearing code out. Help please! My connection harness doesn't have Red with orange wires, it has red with blue and red with yellow wires and the last set are black wires in the connection harness

Will this fuel gauge work on a 2008 xl1200c? Thanks

I installed this fauge on my 2020 roadster. It work correctly the first day I rode it, but now its just flashing on and off with the low fuel light even though it's full.

I recon it’s a waste of money,and takes away the personal bond a man has with his pride and joy lol but all I do is just reset my (A) odometer when I fill up I usually get an average 150 klms until the fuel light comes on but even if “forget” which I haven’t I know I got about 90mins of riding before the light comes on. I use (B) odometer for my oil changes. But a cool project

I have the 07 and it’s not working.

Would've been nice if y'all gave the info on where to get the kit and who makes it?

If this gauge reads inaccurately, what is the likely cause? Mine will read full until I’m almost empty and then it’ll only go down 1 notch.

Alguien me puede ayudar con el link de dónde lo puedo comprar para una sporter por favor

I run a 2002 883 Hugger. Can this be used in my bike?

Seems like a lot of work to just have a fuel gauge.
