Hello Valkyrieriders. Take a look at my Valkyrie gear indicator: http://members.home.nl/joop.angelier/download/Versnellings%20indicator%20Valkyrie/Gebruikers%20handleiding/Engels/I made three by now. There will be only ten made. Its not a commercial product and its not mass-produced. Therefore it's not cheep. It takes a lot of time to make one. And as it's not mass-produced components are expensive. Im not making mutch profit on it. I just like to see my indicator on other Valkyrie's. As it was mistakenly seen as a commercial product i had to clear that with moderator Willow. I dont want to encourage commercial vendos to post on this site. Greetings Joop  |

Hello Robert I already made a turn signal reminder for the Valkyrie: http://members.home.nl/joop.angelier/download/Richting%20aanwijzer%20indicator/USA/The next project is a fuel indicator. It will look like the gear indicator. Same housing. I dont want to drill a hole in the tank, so it has to be a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tube. But i still have to think about it. I will start a new topic about this. Greetings joop...  |

What happens if the rider shifts without using the clutch?

Greetings Joop 2000 rpm at 45mph=5th gear, thats where I get into 5th gear if I ain't in a hurry. How do yah think I can get 40mpg out of my Valk? It's a great device you built there, just pullin yer leg a little. hoser |

Very impressive! However, I've gotten along without a gear indicator for a long time. To me that wouldn't be as necessary as a fuel guage. I don't know how many times I wished that I had one on my Valk standard, especially when I had the sidecar with the extra tank.
Too late for me since the Valk is gone.

A fuel indicator in that same housing sounds like something I'd really be interested in also.
Keep us posted.

When i'm finished with the 10 gear-indicators, i will spend some time on the disigne of a fuel-indicator. I'm only working on this stuff in my spare time. So it may take me half a year to finish the fuel-indicator. Just as the gear-indicator. Lots of things to do and so little time. Greetings Joop... |

Pretty neat set-up. I have had bikes with 3,4,5,& 6 speeds and it don't matter I'm always trying to grab another one  This would fix that. |

Hi to all on the site! I agree, I miss my fuel indicator and the shift indicator on my Aspencade. When you have a.d.d. things like that matter! I also wish for more than 40 Degrees F. with a sustained wind speed of 35mph so I can go and ride my new Valkyrie! Man this site is great. I can't believe all of the info you can find on the site. Just wanted to put my two cents in and place an order for a shift indicator and fuel gauge! Thanks, Larry in East China Mi.
