On the fuel level indicator ....
How useful is a clear sight line on the tank actually going to be ?
You can only really look at it when the bike is stationary.
On anything other than a short run, this will leave you guessing.
You'll probably end up resetting the trip mileometer and going on mileage since filling up.
I tend to do that anyway, even with a fuel gauge.
In my opinion, the sight tube is more trouble than its worth.
Tbh, I would be more inclined to fit a tap with a reserve on it (space permitting .. which it probably doesn't ?).
Or simply not bother and go by the trip.
