I have trouble finding that sixth gear too. Got mine off e-bay for $68 and it looks like the cheap Baron's cheesy bracket and all. It is good and steady for me in most all ranges.

This is a good post. My bike is getting a tach soon(Thanks Yamaha ), and I didn't feel like spending a kings ransom for one. Guess I'll start looking on e-bay. Anybody running one on inch and a quarter bars?BB

So between the speedo and the tach is anybody watching the road?

No problem 06. Glad to help.

I only watch the road when I'm not around one of those new Volvos with the blind spot sensor.

Seen that commercial? What a joke. Guy almost pastes a couple on a bike and smiles about it. Not very realistic though. My wife would have been flipping him the bird. Had to take her tire iron away...

He's smiling because of the peace of mind the sensors bring him. He can safely do what he wants without looking now.

Yeah, Pop, you got the 'pffft" one. Of course, had it existed when I bought mine, I'd probably have the "pfft" one, too...

I really like my Pro-One...needle doesn't bounce, and the placement couldn't be better!

Just wondering, is 'pffft" the sound your billfold makes when you open it up?

He obviously hasn't met my wife. We were out the other day and she asked if a Volvo we saw was one of those sensor cars. I said I dunno but I think she's planning something. I better check her pockets before heading out from now on...
