          Need to add a feature to this forum where you can click on a button and get a snare drum rim shot/high-hat sound FX.

            i dont think you can. I mean you can, BUT it would require some PITA mods id imagine.

              There are a few company's that offer them, not to hard to tap in I don't think, the wires are pretty easy to reach. I can pull my dash out without even taking my fairings off really. It's just a matter of calibrating after hooking it up I guess.

                  I've seen some pretty neat gear indicators made with just a simple LED for each gear. If I were to have one, that's the way I would go. You have to swap to a different gear position switch, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.

                    Kat's have one of those to begin with? Or do you have to add it on either way?

                      kats have one that indicates neutral only. It can be modded to have contacts to run all gears. I've seen a how to somewhere.

                        Now that is interesting. I knew it had the one for neutral, but I'd be curious to see how to mod it for others.

                            If you really must know the secret................

                            I've seen it done two ways.

                            1-Drill the original sensor in the correct places and add contacts where they need to be for the other gear positions.

                            2-Swap on a switch from a GS1100. Supposedly they are a direct swap and have all the gear positions already.
