I depend on my trip odometer more than the light. I reset it when I
fill up and start looking for fuel at around 100 miles. Around 130
miles I start to get pretty worried;-)


Me too. 1600 Meanie for me these days, although I'ld like to sell it and
ride my wife's Road Glide since she doesn't ride any more. I wish the
Meanie would let me just be worried at 130 miles. LOL.

The last bike I had was a 1949 Harley 74 and I just used to open up
the tank cap and look in :-)


My 81' (yes AMF years) 74" shovel was like that. No worry though since I
had put 6 gallon stetches on it. It also got unbelieveable mileage. I
think that might be distorted though because of the mileage pushing it.
LOL. I sold it to buy my 97 FLHT. Wish I still had that one some days. It
wasn't fast, but it wasn't fast about the same running light or pulling a
trailer loaded for a week on the road.
