I've fitted a few and the only ones worth fitting IMHO are GIPro

Plug and play but not cheap. I've fitted them to wifies 650 Bandit and ER6-N and they are bloody good. I tried a cheapy from ebay on the bandit and gave up, sold it on and bought the GIPro.

My bike came with one and it's pretty neat but I never tend to rely on it while riding. I mean you can tell if you're in the wrong gear because the engine struggles. About the only times I will make use of it is making sure I've dropped into first approaching lights or when I'm on a clear road in sixth and checking to see if I've got another cog, which I usually do automatically with my foot anyway.

the 1000 has one anyway as does my car. I find it handy to double check I'm in top on a boring slog.

I do find myself going to check on the triumph or other cars then remembering they don't have one.

would I fit an aftermarket one? no.

my Aprilia had a red light that flashed when I reached certain revs, my XSR has a gear indicator on the dash, does either system affect the way I ride? no

Never owned a bike that has one, never needed one. Strangely enough, my car doesn't have a little dashboard doodad telling me what gear I'm in, same thing!

Gear shift indicator? Or gear indicator? If latter....then as above....you choose.
If former...bloody minefield!

Mine has one fitted as standard. It is useful for that 'Am I in first?' moment we all have sometimes at the lights.
