Safari Tank/Low Fuel Light Question

I filled the Safari half way up for the maiden voyage for the tank, and the bike for that matter, and the low fuel light came on with the fuel level about an inch from the bottom of the Yamaha fuel pump. Just checking to see what others may have done to remedy this. My only thoughts are to live with it, at least it tells you when the tank is half empty, or to disconnect the light from the dash so it doesn't annoy me, or somehow someway come up with a better idea. I have a translucent white tank and looking at the side of the tank it is at the halfway mark when the fuel is at the bottom of the factory pump. Another concern I have is running the fuel level below the factory fuel pump. i know there is another pump in there from Safari, how do I know it's working before I just "trust" it. I suppose I could drive around a block with a gas station on it over and over to test it. And how does that pump function anyway. I hooked up the vacuum line as directed, and also zip tied the tube inside the tank to the pump as directed, but just don't see how that would work. Any comments from others with experience with this tank. Can you go ahead and run it low with confidence?

A few of us have done the same thing and it's worked out well, at least it has for me. I believe I typically see the low fuel light around 180 miles on secondary roads, earlier if I'm running interstate speeds.

I've just been inspecting the low fuel sensor and the plan was to cable-tie it to the pump body as many of you have done. it appears that the plastic bracket doesn't need to be attached when the sensor is relocated but I really only want a low fuel light to come on when I am almost out of fuel, which on the safari is harder to detect once the fuel drops below the bottom of the pump. When I tried to cable tie it lower down, it didn't seem very secure and I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on the matter.
