Anyone get the R3 Triumph fuel gauge? Hard to install? Work good

I have its a piece of cake to install. keep in mind it is not any more accurate than the fuel light

Don't waste your money. Use your tripometer to figure your mileage and to keep up with gas consumption.

Please note that the printed face of the fuel gage does not have any markings to indicate the amount of fuel remaining - there is only an uncalibrated scale. On mine, when the indicator needle is half-way down the scale there has actually been only 1/4 tank of fuel consumed. On mine, when the indicator needle goes in to the red zone (suggesting near empty) - there is actually near a half tank of fuel remaining. In summary, my fuel gage definately communicates some information - I'm just not sure what it means, or how important it is.

If there is some way to calibrate the fuel gage to provide more useful readings, I'd like to hear about it.

If you adjust the arm on the sending unit the light works great and the error on the fuel gauge is moved to the top end. It's a little tricky to do but worth the hassle.

That is very useful information Lester; thanks for posting it. And thanks to Pig9r for researching and explaining the fix.
