Any suggestions how to neatly position and fit the display unit on an after market Gear Indicator? :cheers:

Double sided tape is holding it.

I fitted mine just below the Tacho, matches the "S" badge under the speedo.

I personally think they are god awful and quite tacky. I much rather the sleek design of the gipro :whatever:

Really?     :confused1:

You can pick what mods you get done.
You don't need to change the faces, lighting colour, brightness etc if you don't want too.

Using the rev-counter numbers as gear indicators looks a lot neater and professional than glueing on aftermarket little plastic box's to me.

I use the GoPro one and I've got it between the two clocks on a small bracket as I've got the givi fly screen fitted  all I need to do is put better lights in the clocks really

Very neat n tidy the Thommo version but i actually prefer the little black box. Just like the numbers, easy for old eyes. Very similar to old Suzuki standard stuff yrs ago. My 1974 gt750 had one.

If the leaver won't go down any further it must be in 1st, no higher it must be in 6th , everything else is down to memory  :jack:

         That's all well and good, but it's just remembering if it's on the left or right hand side!  :hat:
