Ever since I starting bringing the bike to the drag strip, I
realized how easy it is to find the rev-limiter. The 929 revs up so fast
I'd hit it before I even realized I was that close. Had been looking for a
shift light but didn't find anything worthwhile, till this one of course.
It's a band of 11 LED's, 6 green, 3 yellow, 2 red. Fully programmable to
run sequential like in the vid, 1 light that goes down the range, or all lights
flashing at a set RPM. You can also set the limits for each color where
you want it. Pretty impressive little toy. Even has a light sensor
so it will dim at night automatically.

Here is how I separated the wires so I could burn off the
insulation. |
The install isn't hard really, but it's not easy. You need
to be comfortable soldering small wires. You will need to tap 3 wires onto
the harness right behind the gauge cluster. Above is a picture of how I
went about stripping the wires so I could tap into them. Used a
screwdriver shaft to separate the wire, then a hot soldering iron to burn the
coating off. After that it's pretty simple, just keep the solder
application to a minimum. As far as body work removed to install, I only
removed the windscreen, front fairing stay, gauge cluster, and the relays behind
the cluster. The programming instructions are easy enough, one tip would
be to file away a bare spot of metal on the fairing stay so you can get a clean
ground with the orange wire (used to program).
