    Shift/launch light

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

    If anyone wants some and unsure about buying from the US i am happy to bring one or two in , known Greg several years and you will have no problems dealing with him.
    www.boostbysmith.com to order direct, i think your looking at ~100USD + $24us express freight cheaper for slow mail

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

    KittyKat probably needs it

    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

    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.

    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.
