Aftermarket Fuel Gauges for Suzukis?

Are there any places that one can purchase a gas gauge for a bike that
didn't have one originally? I purchased a 2003 Suzuki Intruder
VS1400GLP. Are there any aftermarket gas cap/fuel gauges out there?

 

Does your gas tank have a port for a float and sender unit? I suspect
that it would be easier to adapt a tank that already has these items to
your bike than it would be to add them to a bike that isn't ready for
them.

If you go this way, just take the fuel gauge with the tank when you take
it. HTH

Gas gauages are almost useless. A typical car guage for example is 3 or
4 gallons off. They're too inaccurate for the size of the tank on a bike
and that makes it plus or minus too many miles. The old days of a
reserve that meant exactly 1 to 1.5 gallons of fuel left was best. With
fuel injection these days they can't use reserve so the gauge is gaining
again but I end up with a gallon or more left when I fill up because I
can't trust the gauge. So the best thing is put a sonice transducer
inside the tank and a little dsp circuitry to exactly measure the air
volume in the tank. Calibrate once for the true size of the tank and
abracadabra, a 100% accurate guage.

 

Sounds complicated to me. I use my trip odometer. Only fooled me once;
hen I was going into the wind at higher speeds than usual. I ran out
of gas within coasting distance of the gas station and put 5.02
gallons of gas into my 5-gallon tank . . . .
