That's fine... we were all there at one time.
Your fuel gauge has an oil light. It should come on with about 1/2 gal of oil in the tank. If you want to do a trick mod to your Sportster... Replace the fuel gauge with a Tach, and mount a multy gauge from an XP in the hood. It has a digital fuel gauge, a battery light, an oil light, a temp light, and a fuel warning light. (redundant) But if any of the lights come on... your buzzer will sound, and you can see what light is on.
The reason the Tach is in the hole by the steering wheel is because the XP multy gauge is too long, and hits the hull behind the plastic mount. The Tach plugs right in, and the fuel/oil on the multy gauge plugs in also. But, to get the temp and battery lights to work, you have to tap into a few wires right under the hood. If you are interested in doing the Mod... let me know, and I'll tell you want to do.

KSW.... I'll PM you shorty.
SeaDooya... On the Sportster, a tach or speedo is able to be put in as an option, so the wires are behind the helm, (the multy guage is a little more work) but on an XP... you can tap into the yellow/black wire of the mag, and it will read the RPM's. One more thing... you need to add a 20k Ohm resistor to cut current going to the tach on that wire so you don't burn it out. (Get it at radioshack for about a $1)
