Mine was free ...... it's one of those things that happen when your wife is Christmas shopping, and doesn't ask if you want one.
Do I like it? Yes dear
It works OK..... I have the switch console on the left bar with my garage door opener button, so the gear indicator balances it out.
Is it worth 200 bucks, and would I have bought it for myself? No, and probably not.

Looking to add it to my wife's 08 Fat Bob, she is a new rider and i thought it would help? and its $250 in Canada Eh!
So looking for feedback from a "i have it installed and hate/love it" rider

I recently added this gear indicator to my bike. I wouldn't say it is completely worthless, but it did come in handy a few times. It is definitely NOT WORTH the cost in my opinion. Neat little gadget but I am somewhat anti-climatic about it. It will do what it is intended to do, and I thought it would be nice to have especially in heavier traffic situations when I get confused as to what gear I'm in sometimes (old age issue). I haven't used it in that way yet, but for general usage I would recommend people save their money for some other piece of bling to make their rides more enjoyable. Installation was fast and easy so from that perspective it was great! It would have been nice if it came with a secondary switch to be used as one needs.

). I wish the indicator was in the center of the console like the "N" & "6" indicator is so my eyes can be back on the road faster, but I can live with the distraction if you want to call it that. I would say to those on the fence about buying this device that if you really want it because you think it's something you would use, get it. Otherwise save your money for something that will make your riding more enjoyable.
