    Fuel site tube/glass mod

    Was wondering if anyone has ever attempted this on the old school Japanese bikes..My google search came up only custom chopper type stuff..Maybe because the fittings go on the sections before the tanks welded up?

        A few bikes had it from the factory such as the Suzuki T200 invader but most are done on custom builds and are a gimic which just introduces more chances of fuel leaks.
        It's easy enough to retro fit something similar to any fuel tank if you know what you are doing.​

          Easy enough to do. Find an old honda 350 twin tank or others with the crossover tube under the tank and cut the elbows off and solder them into the tank you want to do this to. Use some clear fuel resistant tubing as the guage sight.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Not really rocket science, is it?

              That is cool..Would one of these t200 tanks mount easily on the GS's?
