    Gear indicator illuminated?

    On a bone stock '82 or '83 11e, is the gear indicator illuminated?

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      I don't recall really being able to read it at night on my 82 (with 83' gauge cluster).

        Gear indicators are for girls.

          That is because the bulb is so small.

          i have Rob an LED retrofit 3 years ago, I guess he never installed it

            Good memory!

            Patience - I'm gathering up the parts for her Spring rebirth (bike's been off the road for two years now).

              OK, now you have my curiosity... where did you find an LED retrofit gear indicator?

                The LED indicators on eBay, can be epoxyed into the existing enclosure( small 1.5"x1.5" at the bottom of the gauge clam shell).

                They look stock albeit much brighter.

                something like this.
