Title: Gear position Indicator
Post by zukimans40 on 12/08/05 at 12:33:56

Hi all. Wanted to ask if anyone has a recommendation for a gear indicator for my s40. I have looked at the Acumen DG8 but I have been told it's for digital speedo's only.

Would love to see if anyone has one installed on their savage(pic would be wonderful) and any feedback on performance. Thanks all.

Never heard of it - does this thing actually tell you what gear you're in? Wouldn't that take all the fun out of the guesswork?

Good find! The turn alert here looks like something I need! http://www.riderstation.com/catalog/proddetail.php?prod=DTA

I've seen requests for gear indicators on the Intruder Alert Site, http://www.intruderalert.com/, but nobody knew about the DG8. You might try there.

With a 250 RPM difference between fourth and fifth gear, I have trouble remembering which one I'm in.

My bike is difficult to get into 5th, and for this it would be nice because I would know I made the shift. Although it would probably be easier to just fix that problem than try to install a gearshift indicator.
