. . . If you took a poll of all the SEEG owners, I bet most of them are very satisfied with their bikes. . .



A poll to determine SEEG owners' overall satisfaction?

The fuel guage is not accurate.  Wasn't on my last two Ultra Classics, either!  I knew that before I bought this bike and it was not a weighing factor for me.  All my other bikes didn't even have a gas guage, so it's not a whole lot different.

We buy em and ride em cause we love em.  I'd take any Evo, Twin Cam Ultra Classic or my SEEG over any Shovelhead, Pan head or Knuckle that I ever owned......you couldn't ride those damn bikes without working on them.  Harley is not producing a "perfect" product yet, but they are leaps and bounds above the bikes they used to make.

Heck I thought putting all this after market stuff (seat, shocks,handlebars, mini disc,etc.) was called personalizing the bike.  Who makes a bike that every owner is happy with right off the floor???

I think the fuel gauge is as accurate as it needs to be, it always does the same thing. Stays on full for 100 miles then goes down quick. I always know about how many miles I have left. Just got back from a hundred mile ride by myself, I laugh at my buddies that won't ride when its below 50 but think nothin of snowmobiling when it's 15 degrees. This is some of the best riding of the year, winter is long enough without puttin the bike away too soon. On the way back from Tomahawk this year I had to siphon gas from my bike into my brothers knucklehead when he ran out. Gotta love it.

personally I prefer this gauge over opening the gascap and looking in!!! LOL [smiley=1syellow1.gif]
I am willing to bet most of us are only concerned with this gauge  when it reaches the big "E" [smiley=oops.gif]
and my experience with the big "E" is that it is quite accurate in telling me I need to refuel!!!

My gas gauge is probably relatively accurate.  Accurate enough anyway.  More important is that it fills the hole in the fairing in a way that looks good with all the other things that fill holes in the fairing.  For gas gauging, however, I use the trip meter and watch for the little red light.  So far my little friendly red light seems to kick on when I've got almost 3/4 of a gallon left.  Or three liters if you're waiting on something yellow  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] .

I'll be darned.  That's cool 'cause the amber can be a bit hard to see in the middle of the day.
