Does anyone know of any shift light kits? I just want to do something like have a set of superbright LED's that will flash when I get close to the redline, so adjustable pickup would be good.

Sounds wankerish, but the bike doesn't sound like it's straining when it's sitting at or near redline, and I don't want to have it bouncing of the limiter all the time.

They look pretty cool - how muchly?

I notice in the sample images most bikes are Hondas. This is probably due to Honda owners being very caring people who look after their rides :yes:

I've seen those before, I just want a single light that will light up/flash at or above a certain RPM setting - suchas you have on modern R6/R1 and GSXR dashes.

I used to have a schematic for one very similar to sift-i one where you could set the points each LED came on at, if you want I will see if I can find it.

Should be plenty around the net I would have thought.
