Hi Mark and 113,
I have a shift light that I bought from a member of the bigbikeworld.com site. He is in Brazil though. It's a third the length of the Harlin product and programable as well. It has two steps though. First a blinking phase and then 1K later a solid ( non blinking ) phase. Very bright also. I mounted it at the top of the speedo but still under the small factory flyscreen. You can't miss it:biglaugh:
I think you would be happy with the Harlen product though. Costs with shipping are simular.

What ever you do get has to be 2 cyl. capable.

I have a red raptor thats alright although it died on me once.They repaired-replaced it for free for me after the warranty was up.

I like my Raptor, easy as pie to install in 15 minutes, and I've never had a problem with it after washing and rain storms.
I just leave the rubber cap on it and cover the pin switch hole with electrical tape.

Weird! Mine has a black body with a clear/red LED's and a red cap...:hmmm:

I use a Raptor and an Autometer together for two stage. You'll have to tape up the raptor or it will die the first time you get it wet.

The Raptor is stupid easy to hook up.

The Autometer I've got without the "pill-box" and simply drive it off the RPM programmable output on my Dynojet Wideband Commander who's main purpose is to drive the A/F guage you see.

Rusty,What are the big black knobs on the bars for?

I probably shouldn't post this... Chris already laughed at me for having the biggest shift light on a motorcycle already, but here is a MSD shift light I picked up off eBay for $15. It has different "pills/modules" that you simply plug in to change the settings. It isn't the most technologically advanced piece of electronics, but it works and was the right price..... bright as shit too! The mounting is a stainless steel hose clamp... once again... not the best looking, but it works.

We've got a few MSD lights too. They work well.

That's for adjusting the flow rates on my fuel and nitrous for when the turbo kicks in:rofl_200:

They are for the windshield mounting.....
