    Possibly the Koso RX-2N



    I've seen a few twins in Italy using this instrument.



    You can download the manual HERE. (nearly 11Mb so be patient )

    Re: fuel tank

    You can download the KOSO XR-SR Manual HERE.

    Doesn't explain much about the fuel gauge though.

    It does say that you can change the fuel sender resistance setting from 100Ω to 510Ω - so it depends on what sender unit you are using.

    What bike are you fitting it to? RD03, RD04 or RD07/07A?

    You'll need to find an electronic 'resistance' based sender unit that will fit into the Africa Tank fuel tank - that will show fuel usage in increments rather than just switching a light to show low fuel.

    Aside from drilling a separate hole to mount the sender unit - you'll need to adjust the float arm to suit the Africa Twin tank.

    As the majority of Japanese bikes that have a fuel gauge use a 100Ω sender you could try any number of sender units from various Hondas.

    Yeah, I know - Loads of flashing lights, correct rev range, LCD readout, multi screen, - hell, I was sold with just the flashing lights - it looks good in the flesh too.

    This was a major contender for going on my AT, but in the end decided on this one from 'ze Germanz':

    Correct Rev range??? Are you implying that the original is no good?
