    I have just bought a rr8, which I've just ridden for the 1st time. Amazing, can't believe the difference from my rr5. Can I swap the acumen gear indicator to the rr8?

    You would need a different loom if plug and play

    Cool thanks, so I can take it off the rr5 and just buy a new plug and play loom? I suppose this is the most expensive bit?

    I think they are about 30 quid, plus you may get some back for the rr5 one

    I took my acumen from my RR5 to an 2011 on a 12 plate, and I couldn't get a plug and play loom, so with the bike less than three days old I soldered it in, quite easy to do?

    I not very good with electrics and don't fancy trying that on my new bike :) but thanks for the advise. Would somewhere I've demon tweeks sell them? Not really got many extras on it, pretty much standard road bike really. Got a tank bag and cover and that's about it. (Another bright idea that I never used)
