Dumb question I am probably overthinking but has anyone mounted a shift light on their SG? I have a (Raquel) 15 SG that’s pretty tuned up . Full S&S 107 build , big cams, stage 4 R&R heads and for that extra push a healthy shot of Nitrous . It’s just a good healthy Street / Strip bike but their sure isn’t much room between the bar & dash. I’m just looking for some ideas before I decide what kind / size shift light I want to try and mount on it . And here are some random pictures just for the heck of it

Unless you bracket race it, I don’t see the point.

No disrespect to anyone, but someone not seeing the point of what someone else does to their bike is irrelevant. The bike is cool, and that's my opion and it doesn't mean a damn thing either.

Here's what I found while searching.
