Gear indicators

Awesome idea Kev, I will definitely look into this.

 

I had a gear indicator retro fitted to my fireblade and thought about putting one on my speed but I thought it might look too bulky if you could use the rev limiter lights that would be awesome

 

I'm sure a nice small one could be 'Frenched' into the plastic housing above the speedo that forms part of the fly screen?
Messing with those blue lights sounds like committing ECU suicide as I'm sure they'll be linked to the rpm sensor thingy!!!

 

I may need an electrician

 

I've done that as have others...

 

Here's my HealTech GIpro indicator install...

 

I've been told that ABS Speed's can't have an indicator - Can someone tell me different?

 

Wrong!...the wheel speed sensor for the gear indicator mounts using the same brackedt as the ABS speed sensor.

The GIpro wires up easily if you are an electrician and/or have knowledge of motorcycle electrical systems...I had the dealer do the electrical portion of mine, while I installed the readout in my dash.

Cool - thanks

 

I did miss a gear indicator when I first got my Speed, but once I got used to the sounds and feel I don't need one... if its screaming change up - if its burbling really really low change down - simples!

 

When on a sporty ride through the twisties, I find it quite useful when approaching a tight corner at speed to be able to see what gear I'm in at a glance before executing a series of downshifts...rather than to try to remember what gear the bike is in as I'm sizing up the corner...
