Acumen Plug-In Gear Indicator

Just ordered the Aumen Plug-In Gear Indicator from Riderstation.com. I've searched and can't find where someone has a detailed report on how the install went for the 6th Gen VFR I purchased the "Plug n Play" version so it shouldn't be that hard. Biggest headache will be getting to the back of the panel to plug in the harness. Not sure what all I'll have to remove.
After I install it, I'll post some pictures/write up of the install process.
No more searching for the elusive "7th" Gear!!

 

I know I'm in 6th when it's 75 mph at 5K rpms......haven't tried for 7th since the second day I rode it. I hope it works out for you - it won't be too bad to get to the back of the meter panel. Good luck with your install.

 

Norcal appreciate it. I'm a sucker for gadgets, so I think it'll look sharp on the dash.

 

Eagerly waiting for the install and update. :ear:

 

I can understand the convenience factor. I can't wait to see the completed project. Get on with it now, and post up the pics! :tongue: I shouldn't be too pushy about the pics, I'm a little slow in that regard lately....

 

I haven't found the need for one on the VFR, but you're right, it is a neat gadget. Now, if they made one for my ACE, that would be great because it needs a 6th gear bad, so bad I'm always looking for it.

 

Just signing up to watch the thread. I was just thinking about getting one the other day......

now....... do as NorCal says..... and get on with it ! :smile:

 

Will do guys. Just waiting on the delivery.
Since it's rainy here, I plan removing the fron fairing to access the rear panel so when it arrives, there is nothing but air & opportunity to plugging it in!

 

Looks like a cool gadget, looking froward to the install.

Action

 

jammer... maybe just connect it up and temp. strap it up someplace and give her a heck of a test before cutting any holes...

is it on yet.... huh huh...

how about now....

 

Received a call from Riderstation today that the plug in harness for the VFR 800 was on back order!!!!!
So, it looks like my plans will be delayed by about a week.

 

Wow that stinks. I was looking forward to hearing an install update. I was considering one of them too.

 

did ya tell em that you had 20 guy's hanging by a thread (no pun intended) waiting on results?

 

"hanging by a thread".........................GOOD ONE!!!!!!!

 

cool do they have the throttle percentage guage or a brake percentage guage that would be cool guess the next cool guage would be a tire guage on dash oil change interval guage the guage guage it really cool love that one..

 

:laugh:

I can't help but laugh at that guage overload post. Maybe we need a guage to determine how accurate a guage is. Like the speedometer, I know mine's not 100% accurate so we can have a guage that shows how much % off mine is at a given time.

Or a body fat index guage for those on a diet or even a bodily fluids guage so you know when to pull over and drink up a cold one!

Now, excuse me while I install a fishfinder guage, you never know I may crash into the water and feel like :fish2:

 

Have you seen this Acumen combination Voltmeter and Gear Indicator display? I can't find a US distributor, but you can get them from a UK distributor.

 

I would love a "useless post" gauge for some people ..... :smash:

 

Acumen Voltmeter/Gear Indicator

Knife I do like that setup. Try calling Riderstation (acumen dealer) or sending them a e-mail. The two times I've dealt with their customer service it's been great. At least maybe they can tell you point in the right direction. Goodluck.

I am certain that every bike I have, or have had, has at least one extra bonus overdrive gear. Sooner or later I'll find them...

Does that indicator go up to "7"?
