Suzuki GS500E gear indicator mount

thingiverse

The audience for this project is relatively small, I admit. It's a mount for an aftermarket Suzuki GS500E motorcycle gear indicator, which requires specific components to be of any use: A Suzuki GS500E/F motorcycle (my model is 2000, but I believe it works with all models), an aftermarket gear sensor from AliExpress, and an aftermarket gear indicator from AliExpress (links below). The indicator clicks into place on the mount without any additional adhesives. The mount features two holes in its backside that I initially thought would be used to secure the indicator, but they weren't necessary. This mount attaches to the motorcycle using the existing screw located behind the instrument panel. Before printing, **rotate the mount so that the flat side faces downwards**. No support material is needed. There are no special printing requirements, so feel free to use your preferred layer height (I used 0.3mm), infill percentage (20%), and other parameters. The gear sensor and display I obtained had matching connectors, but their pin order was incorrect, causing the indicator to show incorrect gears. Fortunately, it was easy to remove the pins and rearrange them without damaging the connector. Also, note that the indicator can display numbers 0 through 5 (neutral is blank), which is a bit of a shame since GS500 has six gears. I rearranged the pins so that the numbers match, with "0" indicating the sixth gear. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-PC-Accessories-Motorcycle-Gear-Position-Sensor-Custom-Motorbike-Gear-Indicator-Shift-Sensor-For-Suzuki-GS125/32670178100.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Motorcycle-Universal-Red-LED-Digital-Gear-Display-Motorbike-Scooter-5-Gears-Light-Moto-Motor-Gear-Indicator/32962672328.html
