Almost all gear-indicators I've seen rely on an electrical signal to indicate the RPM and calculate the speed/rev ratio. Since the GZ doesn't have a computer onboard to send that electrical signal, the indicator you would install would have to be mechanical, which I doubt would work very well.

In essence, it's probably not worth the effort or expense, and it's not that hard to figure out what gear you're in by listening to the engine and knowing your speed. It comes with a little experience. Ride more and you'll pick it up pretty quick.
