Hi this product works on our bike  http://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/gpx/

You can purchase it from here http://www.bikersdiscountstore.co.uk/gear-indicators-shift-rev-lights-tre-devices/healtech-electronics/gipro-x-type-gear-indicator-shift-light-pd-42.php

The one you want is GPX-Y01

Not got one myself but considering buying one, if you get one let me know

Cheers Kevin

What I don't get is the makers have a retail price of 89 euro's  (£71.50) yet the "Bikers Discount Store" want £99.99 for it.


Some 'effin discount that - even with VAT added on top of the Euro price.


Looks like we're gettin ripped off.

Theyre that expensive!  Surely there can't be to much to them.  Perhaps an electroncs engineer should investigate and make one for less. A lot less

For a little bit more, you could join the group buy for the multi gauge,  which looks a much neater solution and the electronics work doesn't sound like it would be an issue.

The ZX12 has the advantage of a rotary switch on the selector drum, the FZS600 only has a neutral switch.
To work out what gear you're in you'd need to calculate it from the ratio of engine revs to pulse rate from the speedo sender... presumably that's how the Healtech unit works, but I guess it'll be confused when the clutch is pulled.

If I was in the market for one (I'm not), that's definitely the one I'd go for. I have to agree it's a VERY neat design and fits in seamlessly with the OE clocks. Much better than tagging on a separate gear indicator that doesn't match anything.
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!

I agree, the multi is much nicer. But the schematics look awesome but i think it would work only on newer bikes... :/
