meh just use well established vendors (forum research nessesary) and pay with paypal or some other proxy that will let you snatch back your cash if things turn sour

Oh yeah, nothing but paypal for me. ;)

If I would upgrade to the 09 display, I would have a built in gear indicator.

I don't have a gear indicator. Wish I had one with the Zuk...don't mind with the Buell...only 1 gear is needed on the twin.

I've had two of them...the first on my '01 GSXR1000 was the type that came with a "switch" you had to attach to the shift arm/bar.

The second was the plug and play type which worked quite well actually. There was a bit of a "lag" sometimes before it changed though...

lag? i know you have to calibrate them but i never really looked into it. and no p&p harness is why i gave up on the idea for my bike. not fond of cutting the stock setup.

Awww...it wasn't that bad on my '01 and it took the unit a sec to register the shift. I hear the new ones are much better in that regard,that was 6 years ago.

Me neither, but then again, I will do it the proper way and there will be no exposure to water, therefore, there will be no chance of black wire disease.

I have access to all kinds of wiring connectors and factory style plugs at my job at the Chevy/Hyundai dealership. I am pretty sure that I should be able to figure something out to keep this from happening. :idk:

thats a big peice right there, when i get caught out in the rain i dont stop to wait it out

I had one on the 9R. It was PIMP
