Communicating-vessel fuel indicator in a Harley-Davidson Sportster

Spotting a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is quite usual in my hometown, and they usually are fitted with some aftermarket accessories. One which has caught my attention was this 2005 Sportster 883, adapted with a communicating vessel to serve as a fuel gauge.
Proper fuel gauges in Sportsters were something I never seen so often, let alone in a carburettor-fed one such as this. Even though this setup has the advantage of not requiring any electrical wiring, unlike the fuel gauge kits often found as aftermarket units, I'm not so sure if a similar setup would be legal for use in other vehicles.
