Testing the thing in the barn.

So, I think this little project is done...

Excellent!! TwoManyXS1B's, you must feel very satisfied with your hardwork!!

 

[Mailman]

Success! And a very tidy looking install. Congratulations!

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Hey, thanx a lot guyz. I appreciate your support. Glad you enjoyed this.

I can now count up to 5.

And look where it got me.


Huge 8-page menu. BBQ, Tex-Mex, steaks. Great eats...

Does this mean you will quit hunting for the elusive 6th gear?
Well done!

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

I think so. While riding around, seeing that little (5) down there, I tended to not upshift as much...

I like the unobtrusive look.

That really is such a beautiful bike 2M. You should be proud. Btw, enjoy your bbq ribs!

Thanx, DoubleE. I had thought about replacing the neutral light with the little display. It's 0.300" wide by 0.400" tall, the corners can be rounded off so it'll fit into a 3/8" tube. I *think* that would be small enuff to fit into an instrument's indicator porthole. But, I'll leave it as-is, for now.

Haha, gotcha with the 50-yard pic. It's still ugly up close.

Oh, yeah, the BBQ was great. Juicy.
Had to use a forklift to get me outta there...

I think that is right - the switch goes low when it grounds the lamp to complete the circuit to earth. Unfortunately I do not see how to predict the approach from 3rd to 2nd.
