Did find it often difficult to remember in which gear I am when shifting back during approaching a traffic round-about etc..........
Tiny magnet (shiny silver) attached to the back of the gearshift pedal.....
Up-shift sensor with electr. wire (black plastic element) mounted on electr. starter with tiewrap..
Down-shift sensor with electr. wire (black plastic element) mounted on the lower frame tube....sensor with small tiewrap on open plastic clamp....sensor + clamp positioned on tube.....
Exact positioning of the sensors versus the magnet to achieve proper shift indication is a tough job......
Indicator for gearbox shifter mounted on GL1000 K1.......

Nice idea, but what happens if you miss a gearchange or it doesn't go in first time? It could get confusing!rudolphwolven wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2017 7:08 am ***
