A shift light could be useful, if you drag race for money. For street riding, on a bike with a broad torque and horsepower curve like a Harley, it's kindof a wash between shifting too early, shifting when a shift light comes on, and shifting when you hit the rpm limiter. Way too many other factors involved, to make shifting at a specific rpm all that important.
Honestly what I really want to do is put a Dakota up there, but it's pretty clear that won't work, so this is my backup idea.

You can actually add a FXDL harness, and mount a tach up there... Extending the harness to put a Dakota in there wouldn't be too hard either. Actually, I believe gartec81 did a harness extension on his CanBus FXDB.

I know that a Motogadget mini would fit perfectly up there, but you only get those in red and I really want blue. Wah wah, first world problems.

It comes down to: if the rider likes it, then to hell with everybody else's opinion.

I'm not a fan, BFD. That's why I don't ask for opinions, I don't care. My bikes, my rules.But 'flame ****' and 'exhaust sucks'?

Considering OP asked for the "peanut gallery's" opinions I don't think he was concerned with feelings. Just wanted others' 2 cents.
