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.
I thought Shovels were all 80" by 1981 ? My current ride is a '90 Ultra
Classic , I go by the trip meter because the gauge isn't all that accurate .
My AMF bike was a '76 FLH with all the original goodies , including factory
hand shift . I still miss that bike 7 years later . RIP Bag Lady .
