I don't understand the big need for a gear indicator?  The only time it would help me is when I'm on the highway trying to find 6th gear.

The tach tells me when to shift, the gear I'm in doesn't really matter.

Or is this just a gadget fetish?

I'm with you, Dave... I've never felt the need for one.

I'm interested, too. No gadget fetish, just tired of trying to find 6th.

Is the search of the 6th gear the holly grail of the FJ owner??

Just asking...

Okay, I tried to see if I could get better pricing of I did a bulk purchase; they said sure, but the minimum number would have to be to great for me to justify putting too many of the shelf.

So, the cost is $250.00 plus some incoming freight.

I am looking to purchase possibly ten or so and that way I can spread that incoming freight around to lessen the cost of each unit.

If you are interested please email me directly; randy@rpmracingca.com

Well, since it has been a while since I inquired, I placed the call and I can now buy the sending unit separate, it is going to be $133.61. I am putting together a stock order and I will add one to the order so I will have it in stock.

As soon as I get it I will add it to the inventory.

Thanks for checking, Randy - RPM

That's cool Randy.

A question for Marsh.... Do you have any info. about your dash display? That is a very clean install, that display coupled with Randy's sending unit would be the cat's meeeow.

I don't recall the model, but on some early Yamahas you could go from high gear straight to first.  The logic was that as you slowed to a stop from speed you could just 'lift up' one and be in low gear ready to take off.  I imagine too many people were reaching for the next high gear and would end up in first - yikes - because they added a stop to the shift drum.  At least they were two-strokes so they didn't float any valves... Anyone know the model please share.

Wish someone should have told me that as a eager 13 yr old.   :shok: :dash1:

IIRC, Bridgestone did that on a few.
