I know this is going to be really stupid but, I'd settle for the one on my 89 if I could figure out how the PO screwed it up... Beyond that, I'm interested in the same thing... A Good Shift Light...

I have a Harlan Engineering shift light, right around $65. Works great and has adjustable rpm trigger, I've run mine for 3 seasons now.

Ya i agree with Garrett, waterproof is the way to go ...
Raptors are not, found out the hard way.
my harlan was 'waterproof' but it had water issues. i'm looking at trying to make a cap for it right now... kind of a pita.
does anyone know where i can get small clear plastic round pieces? like 3/4" in diameter that could fit in a make shift rubber cap?

Garrett, my Harlan is 1" in diameter. I can't remember if I purchased the waterproof model or not but I have not had a issues with water, or anything else for that matter. I did add some dielectric grease under the rubber cap where the wire connect to the shift light though after you started having trouble.
i have tiny holes in the piece of plastic or whatever that the LEDs are mounted in. I think thats the problem. maybe i can just use a toothpic put some silicone on those... never thought about that.

garrett have you looked at auto meter shift lights, they have colored caps for their tachs and oil warning, one from there might fit. one of my harlans hasnt work from day one and in alomost 4 months of emailing him for help only one answer and nothing came out of it......kinda sux
I guess I got lucky with my Raptor and water I had it on the bike for over 4 years with no problem & rode rain or shine but the Harlan is cheaper.

I guess mine has to be the waterproof model as I have been through many rain storms and numerous washing with water hitting the S/L. The silicone may work but a cap probably would be better me thinks.
almost easier just to buy a new one.

"was" waterproof?? How did it become un-waterproof?? Physically abused or just started failing?

How about clear shrink tubing??
Nevermind....I should have finished the whole rest of the thread before responding....DOH!!
i ordered it waterproof but first wash of the season, which i put very low pressure water on the unit it stopped working for a week. it may have never been 'waterproofed' or maybe that part just sucks.
