Cruisin' Guzzisti
Many of my older BMW K bikes and one of the Oilheads came with a gear indicator. On a lot of bikes, the gear you're in is intuitive, but I find the Guzzi v twin, with good torque across the powerband sometimes difficult to determine whether I'm in 4th or 5th, 5th or 6th.
Is there an inexpensive aftermarket device anyone here has used? I'm thinking perhaps something that (a) could pick up spark plug pulses inductively (thru the plug wire is what I'm trying to say), and (b) pick up wheel speed (front or rear) to measure mph with a Hall sensor. And of course, a single 7 pack display. Seems like comparing rpm with road speed would make for a simple calculation.
Not a necessity, but a feature I grew to like on several of my BMWs.
(Shame there's no way to tie into the ECU and gather this info real time thru the "VDSTS" plug.)
