Default Gear indicator
My 2011 Fat Boy lo has a gear indicator display. I cannot find such a thing on the Tri Glide except for the 6th gear light. Is this correct.

Default Gear Indicator
I put Dakota Digital guages on my triglide and the speedo has a gear indicator in it. Works real good, it actually reads the gear ratio with the speedometer, nothing to wire.

Sounds like she has a good system (for her), but my wife rides solo.
