Title: Gear Indicator plug and play.
Post by: ste131 on 27 March 2017, 04:57:14 pm: Hi All,
Has anybody fitted one of these? I had a Datatool one on my 600 and was a pain to set up and quite slow to register and got confused quite a bit!

Found this on Fleebay and would like thoughts please!

Post by: ProdigalSon on 07 April 2017, 04:46:17 pm: Does it come with the mounting bracket or did you have to make that, sorry I can't access fleabay at work, I have a Datatool one that was fitted to the bike when I bought which is slow and easily confused. I do like having a gear indicator though so something a bit sharper would be nice, let us know how you get on with that one please? :)

Just plug and play in the front of the speedometer? No soldering? :eek

Post by: ste131 on 11 May 2017, 09:19:31 am: It comes with wiring to plug into speedo sensor plug which is located behind right side cover where fuel pump is. Also need to connect to grey pickup wire also in same place and I used the rear brake switch positive for the switched live. Very easy job.
