so then you'd have an led counter, 1 led on for 1st gear, 2 on for 2nd etc.

I think that would work...

I should probably invest in a manual for my bike first heh

Hell that site is everything you need, it's already setup for suzukis

it might need some tweaking, but the basic idea is there.. and all for < 10$ in parts im sure. then I just need to find a good way to mount the LEDs. only possible concern is any damage i could do to the bike by tapping the Gear Pos. Sensor
