Only downside for me is that it's extremely bright at night & initially was quite distracting - but like car headlights I don't focus on it.
I chose the red ( as advised was the best under all light conditions) - but I would have liked to try the blue (or any colour except white?) to compare them
Means one less thing to think about so i can concentrate on riding rather than constantly trying to remember what gear I'm in as well as everything else when approaching a bend / mythical 7th gear etc.
Hope this helps.
Is the blue readout easy enough to see in the daytime then Drax?
I don't ride at night or very very rarely, just sometimes if getting back later than I intended, so the glare of the indicator should not be an issue for me.
If the blue one is ok to see in the daylight then I might just go for that one as it matches my colour scheme.

Yeah been a member since the mid to late 60's, still a member now but don't go to any of the club nights anymore. don't ride at nigh time and its not Kosher to arrive by car with all your leathers on.

That's a nifty bit of kit! Where can one actually obtain one from?

Hi Robbo, do you think you could post some pictures of the installation and may be a written account of how you wired the Gipro x. I am thinking of buying one and any help would be great. Pictures of the mounting bracket and position would help to.

Hi Ricky if you decide to buy a GiiPro X I have one 'Brand New' still in the packaging that is for sale, I purchased it with the intention of fitting it to my FZS 600 2003 but I decided against, it one of the reasons is I have damage wrists and arthritis in my fingers and to try to do that fine wiring type work is to much for me, i'm ok spinning spanners but delicate work I have lost my dexterity.
The reason I was going to fit one is I keep hooking up for another gear when already in 6th and there aint no 7th.
The colour display I purchased is Green as I thought the neutral light is Green it seemed to fit somehow.
Anyway below is a picture of the GiPro X and the harness for the FSZ600. if your interested I paid £99-99.
Below it cut and pasted from my eBay account so you can see what I paid and also when I made the purchase.
It is now hanging on a hook in my Home Office looking for a home. I am happy to let you have it for no payment to me as long as you promise to put twenty quid in a Cancer Hospice type charity box.
Post in here if you want it, if not, the offer is open to the first person to message me , I await your reply Ricky.
Also below is a picture that I am just about to take so you can see the GiPro X and harness as it is right now you can see this post in the background on my computer.
Remember though don't forget the Charity Box. :thumbup :thumbup

Tell you what I have offered it to Ricky now so won't change my mind, but if Ricky is not interested to Auction it will go.
Re: Gear indicator. - Ricky - 05-03-17
Hi tommyardin that is a very generous offer, thank you,I will take it off you and I do promise to but the money in to the charity. My Mum deid of cancer and was a supporter of her local hospice.
Re: Gear indicator. - robbo - 05-03-17
Blimey Ricky, you've had a right result. Unfortunately I'm too old and stupid to know how to post pictures. All that photobucket stuff is beyond me :lol . What you're asking for would be ideal as the job is being done and the bikes in bits. I fitted my display directly above the rev counter/speedo housing. If you take off the windscreen the available mounting points will be obvious. I just messed about with a cornflakes packet and scissors until I'd fashioned a suitable bracket shape, then traced that onto a scrap of alloy, job done. Other than hooking up to a switched live, all the connections are made under the right hand panel below the seat. The supplied wiring harness just plugs in series into the Speed Sensor coupler. The instructions you get with it are very straight forward. I'll be looking out for your "how to fit a GiPro X-type" article in the near future. :thumbup
Re: Gear indicator. - Ricky - 05-03-17
I to have no idea how to post pictures or write a report lol but I am sure there are people out there that can, and can not wait to tell us lol.
Re: Gear indicator. - robbo - 05-03-17
In my case it will need to be explained as if for the under 5's. :rollin :rollin

Your Welcome Ricky, as it would have just stayed in the office on the hook until I got fed up with it looking at me taking the P--s cos I'm an old arthritic old coffin dodger LOL!
Message me with your address and I will put it in the post tomorrow.
I know where your coming from and sorry to hear about your Mum, I had a similar experience with both my in-laws Dad-in law 2 years ago Mum-in-law a few months ago.
I know we all have to go because of something but there are much nicer ways of going.
Put the £20 into the hospice Mum supported.
