Anyone know of any easy straight fit gear indicators for Curvy?
I often forget what gear I'm in! and they look quite smart as well....although all the ones I have seen are pointy onry. |

I always wondered if they were useful or not, but
my new Gladius has one as standard. It is great when commuting in/out traffic when you stop at lights you can do countdown to neutral. I think some of the aftermarket ones work on revs/roadspeed. Mine definitely works on gear lever position. I can go 1 to 6 and back to 1 without moving. I do not know if the new SV also has this as standard. I do not think I would fit one to a bike but would look to see if it is standard. SMcG in Glasgow |

Well, the ones I have seen for the pointy look dead easy to fit, plug stright into the diagnostics port.
Just no such thing for the curvy it seems. |

gadgets... pah, learn to count your gears like the rest of us... and once you know your bike you'll know by the revs and speed what gear you're in

Thats true enough I guess.
I do count, I just forget as I'm concentrating on so many other things too. All experience. |

After you have ridden a while you will not need one.

He's right you know, once you get used to your bike and how it feels you'll know what gear you are in.
I rode a GSXR a while ago with a gear indcator on it, and I never looked at it once.

Perhaps this is part of my first-bike-want-to-bling-it-up (after crashing it) phase.

Possibly, Spending money on petrol is far more rewarding than spending it on bling though.
