And it even comes with an alloy nut as standard, so no need to source a billet one then disassemble to replace;

I've confirmed that the thread is the same as what is on our bikes (I know for a fact that all metal tanks from 01^ use the same size thread)
My 01 carbie does not have that additional pair of wires on the body, which look to connect somewhere on the F.I fuel pumps. So I'm not sure what I'll need to do with that or if it'll even work. But I bet it's almost "plug and play" with f.i Monsters.
Yeah I know the fuel level warning is a bit silly but I needed to fill the hole anyway, and would have purchased a junk sender plus billet nut which wouldn't have been any cheaper in the long run. Plus I'm planning on having a small alloy panel with several discreet idiot lights anyway so what the heck, I don't mind having something to back up my sketchy memory.
I guess I'll find out if it works, after I find out what to to with those 2 wires. Anyone know what they are? Power/ground?
You sure that nut fits your Monster tank? My memory might be off, but I think it is too small.
He test fit it to a 2000 900 i.e and 01 M750 and it fit both. I've swapped one between an 06 M620 and my 01 M750. So according to that it should fit.
The only other thing that just occurred to me was if the orientation/angle of what this is meant for would make a difference. All it is, is a float/bobber device..so I don't see why it should.
Great! The bobber probably will not be as consistent as the the nifty thermister ones. I say go for it. Just note quantity in the tank when the light comes on.

Looks like fuel pump power and ground.
As long as you don't hook them up at the external connector, the only thing that will leave the tank is the electricity from the fuel... :P
The link shows what I thought was the old style fuel sender. Can anyone clarify that? I thought they are plastic now. My first sender was that metal type and the newer type retrofit part was the one with the black plastic tower. Is that correct? It failed too within a year. I cut down the old metal type for a tank plug with an alloy nut.
Since it has the wires for a fuel pump, is it the old design brought back? Or maybe its NOS of the last of the old design modified for fuel injection?
Ah, its the early EFI version. Just cut off the extra wires at each end as the oem connector is unnecessarily massive and use a smaller weatherproof connector.
Great find BTW!
Right on, thanks guys. So on these models power was supplied to the fuel pump from the main harness through the sender eh? That makes sense actually. How would y'all recommend I "take care" of those wires then?

AFAIK all the internal EFI pumps are supplied through that connector. I am pretty sure it is wired the same on all the EFI bikes, too.
Cut'em like koko suggests.
Unless you need/want to use the OEM connector for some reason. The wires inside the tank will hurt nothing.
