Made another video on the wife's busa tonight

[smithabusa]

LOL another stocker busa video, no turbo vid, sorry.

Just finished up this gear indicator / shift light. Looks really cool I think.

Nice vid, how much for the G/P and can you tell which gear you're in ? From the look of it all the lED's appeared to be the same color and close together to distingush which gear the bike is in.

I am not set on price yet, doing this one for a buddy, wanted to see if it sparked any interest. To be honest, to become remotely attractive for the amount of time it takes to wire up would be about $150 or so.

At night it's a little more difficult, the video is really dark, in the day very easy to tell.

The leds have red in them also. 6th gear could always be a different color. Depends on how much night riding you do I suppose, I hardly ever ride at night, during the day plain as day what gear you are in by looking at it.

Where did you get the cool indicater and shift light combo?
It is a very unique video!

 

[smithabusa]

This is what it looks like

Couple more ones I have done, not shift lights, just indicators.

Hmmmm, $150 ? Thanks Smithbusa but I think I'll keep my eye on the digi key G/P for now.

Nice and clean marketable product by the way.

DIGI Gear position sensor.

I made it for a member at SH.org, trying it out on my wife's bike LOL. Going to start building more if there is interest for them.

DIGI Gear position sensor.

Yep, well aware of theirs, like I said, not sure at $150 if it will be appealing to anyone, I can't really go much cheaper as I won't make any money and be a waste of time LOL.

How much is the digi key? They don't have a shift light though. I guess if you add together the price of a shift light and a gear indicator it can get up there dependin on what you get. I thinkn i paid about $100 for my Blue LED raptor shift light.

Greg

 

[smithabusa]

I am not sure if digi is the one I am thinking of, but have heard of guys having problems with the ones that use tach and speedo to figure out what gear you are in, being slow to react, and not being able to learn gears, make sure and do your homework, I forget which brand it was. There is another one that I think is $150 and plugs into the GPS sensor and has switchable TRE.

Oh yeah, I wire in a full time TRE into the GPS sensor when I do this. If you have a TRE you can sell it.

If I read correctly I believe $89. How much without the shift light ?

Again, nice work !

 

[Rhythm]

And no need for a Tre either. Theres been to much debate on this topic and dont have a use for it. I'm just looking for a basic dependable gear shift indicator.

$75 without the shift light.

The way I am doing them requires you removing your GPS sensor (about 20 minute job). I wire in a full time TRE mod. It's plug and play wiring wise, power and ground come from the unused connector in the nose of the busa near the right turn signal, I have the mating connector to that one.

www.boostbysmith.com is my website.

I put up one on a auction here a week or so ago without bites. If interestedl let me know and i could do that so the board gets some donation from it.

With this one I have no choice but to do a TRE. I have to give the ECU a signal to look at. Yep I know it's highly debated LOL. I also do GPS mods to make the sensor read 1-2-3-4-5-5, just can't do that with the gear indicator.

So is it a GPS mod or a tre mod or is there a difference ? Dont care too much for messing around with the integerity of the bike.

With the indicator its a TRE mod (6.8K Resistor for 5th gear all the time).

I can also do GPS mods (completely different), not with indicator. this is if you want to re-restrict the bike and leave everything completely stock as far as gear mapping. The sensor will output 1-2-3-4-5-5 after the GPS mod, so lower gears remain stock for timing and fueling values, but you can run 6th gear past 186 mph if you so desire.

 

[Rhythm]

$75 for the gear position, so how much for the G/P mod ?

 

[smithabusa]

$40 shipped back to you USPS Priority. I will ship it back the day after I receive it
