Does any-one have any experience with these shift lights
I was thinking of asking them to swap the amber and green lights around and program them for when I should be down shifting as well so I keep it in the green all the time.

I've used one of those on the race bike for a couple of years and I'm a fan. When I was getting it setup there were a couple of complications (I'm running a HRC loom and CDI) and the owner was great, even mailed me up some resistors and told me how to wire it all together, I was very impressed with the customer service.
As far as the kit goes, it's fine. It has a bunch of features I don't use which would be usefull for a roadbike, for me I just setup the lights to fire in the right rev range and I haven't touched it since. I also haven't used my tacho since as I rely just on the ishift. Compared to the cost of the big name brands it's a steal.

Is this for a roady or a race bike? If it's for a roady wouldn't having the 'shift down' lights be a real pain when you're pootling around town at 5,000 revs?

cheers, danny

nice find, been looking for a shift light for the blade. only thing worrying me is that on the site it says that the unit is waterproof but not windproof and should be mounted behind a windscreen which counts it out for my blade.

Thanks for the reply Danny. It's for a P5 Kawi race bike they will
change the lights for me too so I can program it to stay in the green
