A mate of mine in the US is making a shift/launch light at a reasonable cost, thought some here may be interested.

Configurable ;) bit hard on his missus bike to demo a 8000rpm launch.

Aaaah, proves my point, I always said that only girls needed shift lights :D :D :D :D

Real men ride by the seat of their pants ;):D

Ozkat has a shift light

KittyKat probably needs it :D

But he only has it on his straightline machine, I don't think he has it on his road bike.

Race/drag track equipment on road bikes is just dicky posing, ie rice burner territory :D

Greg,

Thanks for the post on my shift light. I appreciate it. I was making the video late at night, and didn't want to put her bike on the rev limiter just to show the light LOL.

Her bike is an 05 stocker, mine is a 00 460 hp turbo bike.

Here is a better video to watch.

Wow man, that dash looks like the flight cointrol of a 747! ...and how the hell did that front wheel stay down? How long is your swingarm?

Is it a shift light, or a digital gear indicator, without the digits?

That was Smithabusa's gear indicator,he makes them for Suzuki's with the gear position switch.
I love how quick the speedo moves esp knowing its in MPH

Hey guys, yep thats a gear indicator I make, i made that one a year ago, the newer ones look cooler i think, have shift and launch light built in.

Here is a 2 step myself and cycle-tek are working on.

Oh yeah, bike is 6 over,keep the boost low enough with my gear based boost controller to avoid tire spin or standing up :)
