If you have any info on that rig, send it along to me Mud.

What if Harley did it that way? Would it be great or what?

If they sold a Gizmo I'd buy it....well maybe not... it would depend on price. Hey, wait a minute!! I think they should come from the factory that way so you'd always know the gear you're in. Let's all send emails to Harley...whadya think?
dude, if you need a light to tell you what gear youre in you may need to sell your bike. i never heard of someone wishing they had a light for a 5 speed trans in a car, much less a bike

You're taking the **** - right? Please tell me you are because I don't want - and I don't want my family - to be sharing the roads with someone who doesn't know what friggin' gear he's in!

Hi Derv, so you don't want me coming over to England and putting you and your family at risk? Hey, don't come here....you drive on the wrong side of the road.

Put some miles on it, then you will know what gear you are in. Absolutely nothing is more valuable than experience.

Default joke?

I hope someone's having some fun here besides me....

If everyone on the forum is such a downshiftin' gearmaster (except maybe two guys so far) why did Harley give us the 6th gear light...for free no less??

I think its because they really want us all to know when we're in 6th. Maybe they don't want anyone to crank the throttle in 6th at 20 mph. Are they disrespecting the majority of Harley riders?

According to the reactions I'm reading alot of guys on this thread probably think the 6th gear light is not needed and it may even be an insult to them. If you're in that group, I would suggest putting a small piece of black tape on your speedo to cover it up.

No my friend - you drive on the wrong side of the road.....we were doing it first! And, in answer to your question my compatriots and me would be highly delighted if you'd stay on your own side of the pond until you learn what gear your bike is in.
