Has anyone put the gear indicator on their bike? I thought it would be a good add on as I ride a lot of winding back roads and forget what gear I am in sometimes. Getting old is my excuse.

Thanks, Crash

unless you already bought it - forget about it.
just do what I do.
if you turn the throttle and don't get the desired results- down shift.
who cares what gear you're in- you can tell when you're in first and top gear... any thing in between is just for amusement.

I don't know but I'm always trying to shift from 4th to 5th gear on my old shovelhead, the only problem is I don't have a 5 speed tranny!!! A high gear indicator would be sort of nice. As roadking mentioned, what is in between means nothing.

You know, I've tried to shift into 6th gear on my bike a few times and I only have a 5 speed... I hear what you're sayin!!

I'm going to do a complete 180. I think the gear indicator would be a good add on.
For some reason lately I keep looking for that elusive 6th gear - LOL :icon_winking:
