School me on digital gear indicators

[Two dogs]

After my track day yesterday on the R6 I realised a gear indicator would be handy.
Unlike the Monster where I can hear and feel what gear I am in 99% of the time
the whinny high reving 600 combined with a quick shifter      fooled me a couple of times .
I had a quick look on ebay and there is a huge range of price and methods .
One uses a magnet and a sensor attached to the gear lever sounds hmmm somewhat bogus.
Any one installed one themselves , which brand/method where did you get it and price ?

No FHE, but there are ones that get an rpm signal, and a speedo signal, and then calculate from there.

I have two types of gear indicators on each bike.

On the Monster I have an SP Electronics which is very nice it's well made and has a great harness that is plug and play no cutting at all.

On the dirty bike I have a GI Pro, it was far cheaper than the SP, fitting was a little more difficult as the instructions were a little vague, to the point it even had Vince stumped until we both found instructions on fitting a power commander that gave me the right wires I was looking for.
There was a little bit of splicing but it was pretty straight forward if I could get it done myself.

Hope that helps.

cheers

Matty, the sp electronic indicator is that the quick shifter version? Where did you pick it up from?

[mattyvas]

It's not the quick shifter one Danno. It's just the gear indicator version and I've had it for years I got it from SP Electronics themselves but its very hard to buy from them because they have an importer who asks around 400$ for them here which is stupid cause I paid half that.

$400 
Think Ill just learn to count 
Thanks for the input MV .
 I will have a chat to my LBS and see what they can recommend on a budget .
I would rather spend that on another track day or tyres which by the look of what I did to my rear after one day
is going to be the biggest hole in my pocket .

The GI Pro one from Heal Tech was about $130-$150 from memory and does the same job really.
The SP Electronics one is very nicely made and Italian so we all know about that don't we.
