    looking to get a gear indicator for the bike. I always seem to forget which gear I’m in (unless it’s 6th o_O)

    Ideally want something that is easy to fit, works well (minimal lag - the one on my TL1000R was terrible), compliments the dash, and is under £100 - would be willing to look at some higher priced alternatives too.

    What are you guys using?

    Thank you :)

    Saw that earlier Nigel thank you, that post actually reminded me I want one. I have no idea why they aren’t “standard” on all bikes. Seems we normally get less equipment with the litre sports bikes!

    Weirdly enough I still shift up to find the next gear even though I have a digital indicator telling me which gear I am in on the dash. It’s a keep your eyes on the road thing.

    Yep, Standard on the 17 19 models, there is still a bit of lag in indication of gear on the odd occasion though. I don't think that's a problem though as you don't need to know what gear your in instantly. I only look at it when moving down the gear box.

    I was looking at the healtech ones. Never did get around to buying one. But I fancied it as it was plug and play.

    I use Healtech. Easy to install and works perfectly.

    Yeah! I also have the Healtech D series G2 on my 05 blade and it works just great. I do find on mine though, you must wait after switching the ignition on for it to count down and reset before starting the engine, otherwise it will show a fault.
