I did a search on this product, but didn't find anything.
Has anyone installed this device? If so, did it actually fit a need?
Tell you why. A few days ago I was puttin' around my local burg using third and fourth. I forgot what gear I was in, which is actually hard to do on a Sportster. The shimmy in the rubber mounted motor is a dead give away. Failing that, one through three are close ratio, and there's a wider jump to fourth. Fifth (to me) is like an over-drive.
Anyhoo, I take residential turns in second, forks in the road in third, but this time I dropped into first from second thinking I was in third.
No biggee, the bike didn't even wiggle off line, it just got really loud.
However, now that I am a more seasoned first-chair member of our local choir, I can see where this might happen a bit more often. For example I have found my keys and reading glasses in the refrigerator. Laugh if you will, your turn is coming.
Yikes, for 219 bucks this thing had better perform. I'm not married to the idea, I don't even know if the thing works.
