The Acumen Digital Gear Indicatorr (DG8) is suitable for use on motorcycles equipped with an electronic speedometer and electric rev counter (that is bikes that DO NOT have rotating-core cables). The DG8 system relates the electronic pulses between the two inputs, and once installed and setup, indicates the gear ratio of your bike. There is a different version (DG8-C) for cable drive Speedos like Ducati's, and many older sportbikes. (You still need to have an Electronic Tacho.) Both versions come in Red or Blue Display.

there is no hunting for wires, soldering etc If your bike has an electronic speedo and electronic tach, DG8 will work as long as you locate the right wires: check your owner's manual for your wire colors. Once connected, you have to put the DG8 into a programming mode to teach it the gears for your bike. This is much like programming a remote control for a TV!
