    Gear indicator mounted where it should be (IMO)

    I've been going back and forth with the best way to do this. A lot of guys that have the GI Pro either stick it to the outside of the speedo plastic or behind the speaker grill. Here's what I came up with.......













    Too damn cold to plug it in right now but hope to on Sunday. I had all the leds in my speedo changed to blue and this indicator is in blue so it should look pretty trick. I'll post some pics when it's all lit up......

    Get it done! It took about 2 hours but my gauge was already out on the bench. Next is a custom install on a carbon fiber volt meter, probably Sunday...I love figuring out stuff like this....

    Mine's going behind the left speaker grille up by the tweeter.
    I'm just waiting for warmer weather, as the engine needs to be started for calibration. Too cold in my garage to start her up. It will be the last mod I do before riding season.
    I commend you for your initiative.
    I don't have the time or patience to attempt what you're doing.
    I'm sure it will look great.

    Okay...a "Gear Indicator" lets me know if my wheels are in the Up or Down position. Not an option on the F6B. So..what are we indicating?

    Excellent find, thanks for posting!

    How difficult is it to install, where is the plug in port on F6B? How much tupperware needs to be removed to plug it in?

    Thanks!

    Hard to say how difficult it is...if you have basic wrenching skills and a lot of patience it's not difficult at all. Take your time, go slow and a couple hours later you're there. You have to remove the seat and left side panels. It's plug and play directly under the seat.

    Thank you, that's what I was looking for.

    I also want to say I'm happy this was finally a useful post on this forum. I'm bored reading about weather, Florida boys, climate changes, etc., things that have absolutely nothing to do with F6B.
