Welcome to our forums from TN. Not familiar with it either, is it something to show you what gear you're in?

Correct. Some guys usually put them on sportbikes, but to me when ya been riding awhile you get to know/learn what gear your in.

Where would you mount this gauge? Never heard of it.
Don't let the Harley MOCO people find out. They'll have one on the next model year bike. Right next to the AMBIENT AIR TEMP gauge.

Looks like a sport bike thing to me? An RK will tell your butt when to shift....just doesn't seem HD to me, but that may be just me?

It's neither a sportbike or cruiser thing. It's just a thing. Wether riding a sportbike or cruiser it the same thing with the shifting and knowing what gear your in.
