Re: White LEDs for Neutral and Turn Signal indicator lights

Alan, it is very easy mount that tach, at the bolt that holds the signal stem. No solder, plastic mixing, wire cutting etc. See at "How to... mount a tachometer" thread for supplier and instructions. BTW re: your earlier "hours of effort" remark, I wasn't looking forward to replacing that little light bulb every 1,500 miles, and I hope these LEDs never need replacing, so that's a lot of time saved ! Eventually.

Others: it idled at about 1,400 rpm (realize you're looking at an angle and the needle was actually below the 1,500 rpm line on the dial), and the tach works fine (i.e. it indicates about 5,100 rpm at 50 mph in 5th gear). The bike was nice and hot after a more than 40 miles ride when I shot the video.
