6th gear light
On my old Suzuki GSX1100, there were gear indicators, with numbers in the speedo console.
I'd love to have a 6th gear warning light on the CBR , because I keep trying to find 7th gear.........[8D], yes I KNOW you can tell by the revs, and the speedo, but there are times I don't want to be looking down.......and a simple light would make it easier....
Has anyone ever fitted one to an early Hurricane (1989/90) ? The Suzuki had a set of electrical input points in the gearbox, and the relevant gear number would light up.....
Any advice would be welcome........

RE: 6th gear light
It looks like this might work for you. This post in a different forum is discussing a mechanical gear indicator. It is a pretty good discussion with pics.

Many thanks, Roundabout, and welcome to the Forum !
This is a first - normally new people are asking us questions, not supplying the answers !!
I've sent LEDgear an e-mail - let's see what he comes up with.
Thanks again.

Sorry, don't understand the significance of FJR1300A, TBT,apart from it being a fairly good Yamaha with a 5 speed box. Your levity is lost on me this time.

That's funny! Inspiration for the fans of gear position indicators: "My home-built DIY gear position indicator - includes plans" (forum for st-owners)
