I bought a kit - may have been a partial kit - that I no longer need. PM me if you are interested. I will check tonight and see what I have and maybe take a pic or two to send you if you want.So. As a really late person to arrive and discover this thread, my excitement built and then was crushed as I learned it was no longer available to buy as a kit form. Has anyone picked this up and moved forward? I don't have any problem with assembling stuff like this (would be a lot of fun), I have no idea how to get code programmed into a chip. Is this all still do-able...or am I relegated to spend $139 with a Healtech and have someone else do the work of putting it together?
Thanks again, Jim. I'll be looking forward to getting it and putting it together. Sounds like a lot of fun...hopefully minimal frustration. I just read through all 249 posts again, taking note and copying the manual pdfs.I bought a kit - may have been a partial kit - that I no longer need. PM me if you are interested.

That looks so good. Wish Honda would have done that in the first place. Having ridden other bikes with a gear position indicator, I really miss it on the ST. Find myself riding for miles in 4 th before I discover I have another gear.
Sounds like you are very close to success.The problem: When powered up, the display flashes a repeated "6". No matter how long I wait, it never gives me a flashing "5". When I hold the Learn button as instructed (to select the 5 or 6 speeds), the display changes to a flashing "1", as expected, waiting for me to engage first gear. Off of the bike, that is as far as I can test it. Is there something wrong that I only see a flashing "6"? ...Or is this just because the other connections are not complete?
Thank you, thank you! I really appreciate the response. That makes perfect sense to me! I'll get out the biggest magnifying glass I can find and hopefully find it! Soldering used to be easy to do, but at age 64 with tri-focals, this was a real test. I'm just glad I don't have my mom's palsy (yet)!Sounds like you are very close to success.
I would look for a construction error, or solder bridge. Something that results in the "e" segment of the seven segment LED being illuminated whenever one of the adjacent segments is illuminated (either "d", "f" or "g"). A likely suspect might be a bridge between pins 8 & 9 of the PIC.
Hip, hip, hooray! I checked the LED and found that there was a short, as you suspected. Then I checked the wires on the board and found that a and b had continuity (the LED is upside-down) and found a bridge across the PIC side of R10 and R11 (pins 11 and 12). Now I have a nice 5...6...5...6...etc. Can't wait to start the actual install on the bike! I owe you at least a beer if you get down to Havasu!Sounds like you are very close to success.

Excellent! Good to hear it's up and running.Hip, hip, hooray! ....... Now I have a nice 5...6...5...6...etc. Can't wait to start the actual install on the bike! I owe you at least a beer if you get down to Havasu!
And running it is! I put the ST back together and made a sort of temporary mount for the LED and switch out of an end segment of a plastic pill box.Excellent! Good to hear it's up and running.
Congrats
There is room above the ST1300. In this thread, and a couple others, you can find pictures of them by others. I just was hesitant to cut the big hole in that white plastic thing, as it is apparently only sold as part of the light board...for about $62. I did get a second Black sheet (about $4), and accidentally ordered the one with ABS. It helped as I had a better guide to see where to cut out the opening for the LED. So now the bike can be returned to normal with no visible evidence of my "tampering" if ever needed. As you can see from the picture, there is a section of that RS PCB that Pat identified that has just the right spacing for the tiny LED.If I were to do this, I'd want it dash mounted similar to above. But I have an ABS. Looks like an interesting project. Might have to find space behind the same lens, maybe just above the ST if there's room there. Thanks for all the info here! Have been researching home grown PCBs, this might just be the project to do one with.
That looks like a great idea. I am sure you could easily find a place to mount that in the black ST1300 plate. Maybe my next project. Looks like the same size LED and mounting as in the ACL head's up turn signal indicators. At $30, it is cheaper and much, much smaller than the Kuryakyn voltage thing that I have on the Magna. I think I "NEED" it...LOL.On a similar vein, is there room under that right side blank sheet to put a voltage monitor LED so that it seems part of OEM installation. I mean by drilling a small hole and poking it through?
I was particularly thinking for this voltage regulator:
