Need some advise on a Shift light

[vmaxride06]

I really would like to add a shift light to my bike, anyone model better than the rest? Weather proof, accuracy, looks? Is it better to have a handle bar mount vs Speedo mount? Any feed back or pictures would be great.

Thanks

Check out the Harlan shiftlight. http://www.harlan-engineering.com/store/shiftlight/shiftlight.html Great price and he makes them waterproof for $1.50 extra. Know that a few folks here run them and I am getting one for my Max soon too.

The Raptor is not weatherproof, but it's compact, a breeze to setup and install. And one of the least expensive. Plus it can be mounted any where you can attach it to.
I just put a small piece of electrical tape over the dip switches, and keep the red cap on it, and I've never had a problem with it for over a year. Riding in the rain and washing the bike all the time too.

I run the Harlan shift light and it works great. It's very easy to set up (dip switches) and easily wires up to to the back of the tachometer with included instructions.
I have mine super velcroed to the side of the speedometer as a temporay mount but will be mounting it pemanently there this winter. I didn't want a permanent mount until I found the best spot to see it for me.
