If they are still being made the multi-gauge that replaces the fuel gauge is a tidy way of doing it and gives lots of other functions as well, but the setting that shows your top speed when you come to a halt is very bad for goading the throttle hand.With the addition of a £5 gps module is gives a gps speed as well and can act as a speedo healer if you are on different tyre/sprocket combos.Christian from on here was making them.

If you want just a gear indicator, then the Gi Pro by Heal Tech is straight forward to fit, works first time and all the time. Choice of colours. For your bike you need the X type with the GPX-Y01 harness, unless the spec has changed in the last few years. Plenty of info if you use the Search feature.

The heal tech one also doubles as a shift light for peak torque or rpms, which is nice.

Just looked up healtech, I wouldn't mind one but I'm a bit OCD about cluttering up the clocks, might stick some on the bars 🤔
*Disclaimer*
Nothing I say should in any way be taken as a good idea 😄

I'd certainly rather have it behind the clocks out of the way, but in comfortable line of sight, rather than stuck on the handlebars.
