Yes, GSXFJim was making custom units for the kat. It's fairly involved. I bet if you do a little searching you'll find his thread.-Steve

Not that involved to instal actually. Jim's version you swap out the neutral sensor. (remove sprocket cover, 2 bolts and you pop it out, put in the new. Only thing here is it's easier if someone else leans the bike to the right, this way you don't have to drain the oil first).
Once the new sensor is in, you add two power leads to indicator to match up with power for your bike. Most of the Katana harness have at least one unused set of aux leads that you can use that are power on only when the key is on. Connect up to that, and ... well.. that's it. It's just a matter of mounting the seperate display where you want it.

IMHO, the Kats came fitted with a gear indicator called a tacho. Better to know you are operating in the right RPM range than in a particular gear - the actual gear number is irrelevant. Reference the speedo occasionally and add some sensory input from your butt and ears and you have all the info you need.
