The only gear that confuses me is reverse.

My 67 honda 450 had a light bar on the speedo built into the headlight which told you what gear you were in. One of those things like a tach that should come standard on all HD models. 200 bucks for that little thing? ... you got to be kidding me.

I wish I had one but for $200 I'll live without it just as I have been.

Last bike did not even have a tach. And never had a problem with it. My limited has the tach and a sixth gear idiot light. Good enough for me. If sh is not pulling hard enough or making enough noise, drop down a gear or two. I will save my $200 for something else I "just got to have" LOL!

I would like to have one, and I think the looks are OK, but I feel it's overpriced.

It would be a novelty to have, but I doubt I will spend the $$$ for it. I can tell what gear I'm in by my speed and RPM. I usually only get 'bit' when I get distracted and don't fully downshift when stopping.

I like the design, but the way my bars shake at stops, it's just one more electronic device to come loose and quit. Pass.

It is neat, but as with most others, quite a bit over priced. 75.00 and I might think about it, rode for a long time without one, although the 5 speed does have me counting a little more. Coming to a stop is shift down until you can't any more, then you are ready to leave on green I use the motor to gear down when coming to a stop, so usually only one gear away from the bottom.
Ride Safe, Watch out for those road hazards, especially buffalo's and mountain lions
