Dyna, Pingel, several goods ones out there (do a search on this site-Think it was discussed a while back).
Make sure you mount it in your line of sight, preferably towards the center top of the bars (that's a dyna mounted on top of my bars-center in pic-tiny but bright LED light). Wait till you dyno it so you know peak hp, and set it just past max hp to give you time to shift and keep you in your power band. Set your rev limiter 400-600 rpm after that point so you have some room for human error, and don't bang the limiter.

Autometer has a nice module and shift light and if that set up is too bulky MSD has a small brite shift light with the module built in it's about the size of your index finger, we have a customer with 95" motor in a Softail that runs 10.70's at the track with the MSD light on it.
Give us a call and we can give you the part numbers.

You could drill a hole and recess it i would imagine, but i am sure you will see other places once you have it in your hand

Get the red color light!!!!

I had red, then ruined it during a bath. For the sake of change I got green the second time. Bad move.

The red is the brightest and you can see it with your peripheral vision.
I almost wish this green one would break so's I can get a red one again.
