Sold my Freewheeler and bought a 2019 Tri Glide. Does the Tri Glide have a Gear indicator? Not important, just wondering.

It's actually an algorithm that "calculates" the gear your in based on rpm and speed, I think. It doesn't doesn't work when the clutch is in.

I was wondering why it doesn't show gear position when the clutch is in. (disengaged). It's a goofy indicator and mostly difficult to read anyway. I'm trying to use the tach instead.
I don't use the tach i always shift by ear and feel.....The only time i did use a tach for the shift points was at the drag strips....And that was back in the 60's...
Agree 100%
What do you mean "the older models" how old?? All the bikes from my 2010 Limited to the present have all shown 6 in the indicator......no light.

That is the way I do it, by the sound of motor, have been doing that ever since driving bikes, works for cars also, never dragged race in a strip but did alot of street racing and the tach came in handy for that and some times I pushed passed the red line on that with no ill effects, never lost a race either, sure made a few people mad when they drove over an hour to come and see me, we had a stretch on the highway that we used and worked out great. Sure miss those times, everything was good back then, wish somebody would build a time machine, I would go back to the late 60's and 70's for sure.
All for now Trampas
Back in the 50/60's you knew when you went too far over the red line....The valves would Float ....And if you tried to hold it there hoping for a little more speed...There goes the valves...Now days with all the electronics you cant push it past the red line the nanny will stop you and save the engine...
I found that out a couple days ago. First time ever for me = I said "WTF!!"
