I recently picked up a Gear Position Indicator (GPI) for the TLS that simply uses 6 LED's. One of the nice features about this GPI is that it also incorporated a semi-active Timing Retard Eliminator (TRE) to circumvent the timing issues in 1st through 4th. Those timing issues also were the cause of low RPM stumbles on this bike but that's a different story.
I wanted to go with an OEM look to the install which meant looking at the gauge panel for placement. I figured the idiot light area would be a good place to start.
Start drilling...
Slide them in (if it were just that easy)...
Open it up for the wires...
Drill the screw hole out for the cable. I did this because it was the cables direct route in. Trying to get it though the access panel would have been a headache. I also flattened down some of the ridge that is there so the cable had more area to angle in.
GPI box. From here I can turn the dial on the fly
On, but dialed in dim...
Full bright...
What gear am I in?
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th.
And it always helps to have an extra set of hands around.
