does this mean it only indicates when youre in 5th? not 1-4?

yes -

The factory switch only had neutral, 4th and 5th

I could have used the 4th gear signal decided only to use the 5 gear as it was the only one originally going to the instruments

When not in fifth gear nothing shows in the display

I see a lot of customs that go in directions that I don't like - I'd say about 99% (except for a weak spot for clean cafe builds before the weird flat seat and headlight thing started), but I gotta say this is nice! Clean and purposeful, better than factory customs.

Aspencade neutral switches have all five gear-indicator wires.

Awesome bike, it looks like it could've rolled out of the factory.

Thanks everybody - I haven't been on the site much in the last few weeks. I never thought about BOTM. Very cool feeling to have others like the bike as well.

Thanks again!!
