Hmmm....
Sometimes dealers have used bikes that have them. Might be worth a call or looksie. My buddy has it on his '11 RK and, to me, the gear indicators are small. But then again, my peepers aren't what they use to be. Everything else I like, including the miles remaining 'til empty.
From what I heard from the dealer, once it gets paired with the electronics it isn't so easy to swap and guess most would not want to swap anything...

As I stated few months back in another related thread, that I prefer location & size of 4 1/2 inch "Police tachometer" up front centered just below eye sight from road, over intergraded novelty speedometer / tachometer / gear indicator / etc, / etc.....
Intergraded unit looks great when at a stop light and when you need to impress your friends, but for me it's dysfunctional especially size of tachometer IMHO.

I agree with you, not real concerned with gear indicator as I am with mini tachometer, as my sight is not as sharp as it once was. Hard to adjust to such a small tach when running out the gears taking eyes off the road to look down focusing on that micro tach is extremely nerve racketing between 60 & 80 mph....

I think that she's most interested in the gear indicator, then the color options, and lastly the tachometer. LOL.

That's an significant amount of change to put out just for gear indicator. Why don't you look into Harley's parts accessories catalog for add on located on my 2012 Touring page 621, "Digital Gear Indicator" attaches to handlebar, inside next to start switch. 219.95 black or chrome. Plug & play no wiring or programing needed.

No, I do appreciate it. I did see that one and suggested it, but she didn't like that, either.
Really, the speedo isn't that bad - just about $260 at Boardtracker.

That's the speedo I have, have had it a few years, I like it.
If you go thru all the color combos, you would go crazy. I believe they may be endless.
The speedo does mate with your bike in a set # of miles, there is a small window where if you didn't like it you can go back, but it's not much - it explains this in the info with the unit.
I say go for it.
