Wow, thought this just might be interesting to some people. I’m a big boy with 4 kids probably older than most here and a few Grandchildren that ride. I’m just an Old Dog with too many different motorcycles on too many forums and too much time on my hands.
Well winter is here, time to teach some more kids how to shoot and reload Ammo.

I drag raced a car many many years ago, it never occurred to me to bring that to my Harley. I guess in my area there's not many straight roads either. It's more about low/mid grunt in the mountain passes. Not that my Heritage is the weapon of choice for that.

I Should have posted this over in the Turbo/ Supercharger section. When your running a Vtwin that makes 250 to 300 hp @ the rear wheel I’m pretty sure you have or need a shift light. Not that my M8 Low Rider has that power now, but eventually this motor has potential to out perform my turbo 120r.

<br /><br />It’s great for breakin too. It only lights at the RPM you set if for. I put one on a friends triglide who lost his left foot. That unit has an output that trips a relay to trigger a Pingle shifter and kill the injectors for 50 milliseconds. He doesn’t even have to use the clutch once he’s moving. Of course the Pingle also has a switch to up and down shift also.

Tough group here. I can see the value of the shift light, when you are really getting on it. On the RoadKing, it's very ineffective to use the digital tach for a precise shift point. And come on experts, your butt isn't that accurate either. You can tell reasonably close, but if you want to rev to peak HP...your butt don't do it., If you really wanted to know when you hit...say 4,800 RPMs I see the value. Plus it would be cheaper than installing an analog tach.

I have a 17 GT with PP, small world. I have the same light on the Columb. My wife won’t drive mine, but loves to sit there telling me how I’m driving!, I took the spring out of the clutch pedal assembly as I couldn’t feel the clutch right and a few times almost got it to wheelie by mistake. I put a Vortec Supercharger on it .
