good plan -- just be aware that there were reasons why the fuel senders were
replaced on many pre-recall bikes, especially early STs (like yours and
mine)

in my case it was because (from new) the fuel gauge showed empty all the
time and my low fuel warning light was on all the time.  I have a hunch that
the float in the sender was just stuck, since the bike had sat with an empty
fuel tank on the dealer showroom floor for many months before I bought it.
