I'm working on a modified dashboard. Does this link work?

Nope.

The white panel is for prototyping. I got a sheet of 2mm carbon, roughly the same size. I need some test riding and if everything goes as planned and it all works properly, I will replace the white panel with the carbon.

I reckon if I had all de knipperende lampjes on my bike I'd be too busy watching them instead of the road.

You have a point probably it is just that I like knipperende lampjes that much! 8)

How are you determining which gear you're in for the gear display? Sounds like it would be a useful thing for my e-Shift, which only synchs on Neutral.
Ride Well!

Just straight from the neutral switch. An original one has only one connection for N, but the switch from a later TDM850 (4TX if I remember correctly) has contacts for every gear. It even works with 6 gears!

Like this one for example

Thanks maaate! Much appreciated!

Edit: After much searching, it seems these parts are virtually unobtainable new and second-hand ones are silly money. Looking at the part, it appears that it would be possible to modify; drilling contact holes and inserting contact slugs to connect to. As it turns out, someone else has beaten me to the punch:

That's a good find.
Excellent description of how to build it.

I think €20 for a used one is not too bad but I think it is on the wrong side of the globe for you.
Good description indeed!
No need to fiddle with diodes yourself, on aliexpress you can find displays with the electronics built-in, you can connect it straight to the neutral switch.
