Digital Gear Indicator by Harley

I'm not paying $200 bucks for it, but I can see where someone would find it useful. It's funny that so many people on here have labeled it for "rookies, rubs, posers, etc..." What is with the labels? And how exactly would your choice of gauges define your worthiness as a biker, motorcycle enthusiast, Harley owner, whatever? Some people ride lots of miles, some ride a few, some have expensive bikes and some don't. People are different...get over it.

I find this accessory is going to very helpful, and I am buying one for my Road Glide. We have several twisties out here where I live, and although I do not run my bike with tach reading. With full gear on, full face helmet and sometimes earplugs, it is difficult to tell what gear I am in while in the twisties. I often find myself in the twisties in 6th gear and should be down in 5th, or even 4th gear. The bike has so much torque it is difficult to tell if I am in 5th or 6th, when I should be in 5th and not lugging the motor.
I think I'll find this useful, and they are available discounted from some dealers.

Seriously though, I'll probably buy one when I can get it on eBay for half the regular price like I've done with many other things I've bought for my bike.

Beats me how virtually every other bike on the market has a gear indicator light on it, except HD, who expect us to part with $200 (more in Oz), for a tacky add on, bolted to the handlebar! If they can include a green neutral light, and a green 6 on the dash, how much more difficult would it be to give us all the gear positions?
