Personally, I like the simplicity of my Fat Bob and don't miss all the electronic gadgetry of my former Gold Wings, and my last two sport tourers, a Kawasaki Concours 1400 and Honda ST1300.

I'd kinda like an indicator too. I often come to a stop with the bike in second instead of first and get a rude awakening when trying to take off in second. I know it's just my bad technique when down shifting, but I can't seem to train myself to stop it.

When you stop at a light or stop sigh, just get in the habit of always shifting all the way down to first. That's the easiest gear of all to find.

I think they would be useful. My Street Bob had a light that told you when you were in sixth. But sometimes between the road noise/exhaust sounds you forget and can't feel what gear your are in. Especially 3-5. The best ones I have seen have a little LCD cube that lights up with the number.
