another toy that H-D should include.....




claims to be plug and play on 2002+





To install it, you need to connect ONE plug only. No need to cut and splice wires and no need to access several connectors. It is supposed to be the smallest, most compact gear indicator available, while it has an extra bright, sunlight-viewable display. Available in red, blue, green, yellow and white (green & yellow not recommended unless the display will be mounted in a shaded location, avoiding direct sunlight.) 100% weatherproof and comes with a 2-year replacement warranty. Available for all Harley-Davidson models 2002 to 2010 (except V-rod) equipped with Delphi ignition module

I like that the first pic.. gear indicator shows 6th gear but the neutral light is on

but the engine is also off

I assume this device is reading the rpm and road speed info at the ECM and calculating the gear position, similar to the sixth gear light on the current models.  So it could be subject to some of the same problems the stock sixth gear lights have had, and if you change gearing all bets would be off as well.  Might want to research the reprogramability of the unit if you're thinking about a future gearing change.

Maybe I'm just "different", like people have been saying most of my life, but I figure if that little box can look at rpm and road speed and figure out what gear I'm in, and my bike has a tach and a speedo, I can calculate that stuff myself on the fly without adding another display.  And that's pretty much the way I've done it for the past 35+ years.

I did actually have a Honda in the 80's that had a gear indicator display, and after the novelty wore off I pretty much ignored it except for verifying neutral.

Confising to say the least

I'm not inclined to criticize what people choose to put on their bikes, but it seems like more useless information to me, too. 

Good catch on the picture labcab.

Looks like a Bugger on a Kleenex! Will pass
