Fully adjustable and programable...

If the price was right I'd get one. I think some black, rounded allen bolts might look better then rivets and would be cheaper then buying as pop rivet gun for those of us who don't have one.

My GI Pro came today. Excellent item. Installed perfectly.... well, until I dropped the velcro inside the fairing somewhere. I mounted the indicator on the lower right corner of the tach face since the needle never goes there anyways. I mounted it in the lower right quarter of the tach face- it is the prefect size to fit right there and not cover any of the odometer.
Installation was seamless but that isn't nearly as nice as the results. My LED placement worked out virtually perfectly- it can be seen from any riding position. Even that isn't as nice as the way it cleans up the low end throttle response. I was honestly expecting to not feel any seat of the pants performance difference/increase but I was mistaken.
To make a long story short, this is one of the best $130 mods I've ever purchased on any bike I've ever owned. For everything involved (except losing the supplied velcro piece), I give them a 10 out of 10!!!
I'm one happy camper. Now to go break in that new Metzeler M3 rear sneaker......

Can we order the GIPRO bracket yet?
got mine yesterday. I work all weekend, so hopefully I can get it installed on monday.
GI = Gear Indicator. ATRE = Automatic Timing Retard Eliminator. For whatever reason (I've heard a couple different explanations) Suzuki retards the timing in gears 1 through 4. This little gadget does away with that and can be switched off or on without effecting the gear indicator part. It makes the bike more responsive in those 4 gears and also makes it run smoother. For example when your chugging along in traffic or in a parking lot it gets rid of most of that jerkiness. The automatic means it automatically switches off when bike is in neutral. You get a smoother idle and less engine heat. It also disables the top speed restrictor to unlock the Busa's full potential. I've had mine for a week and I love it.

I received mine Thursday and as soon as I got home from work, I went to the garage and made a bracket! I hade some stock that I was able to cut down and shape. Looks almost like yours. I didn't put quite as much curve on mine as you did as I have the stock windscreen. It worked out perfect though. I can see the display though the top of the windscreen so no need to duck down to look underneath. That was a great idea installing it there. I used screws to fasten and they should stay nice and snug since they screw into the metal piece directly under the plastic. I turned on the ATRE and the bike seems to shift a little smoother and the engine doesn't sound quite as much like a diesel anymore.
I am very happy with the product!!

Phenomenal craftsmanship!!! Could you PM me the bends? Have a VG Touring Screen and it's pretty low, but thinking you def have the right #'s.
so?...since my beloved dark smoke puig touring screen was just a tad too low up front to squeeze mine in on top of the gages?....and ain't willing to give up my puig?...yet wanted my gipro where i wanted it?..front and center...stationary...and not hiding any part of my other stock instrumentation?...i decided a 'lil custom install braketry work was in order...so?...I started out with a 3/4" wide by 6" long piece of 1/8th" alum. strip stock...and first formed a joggle into it to get the location up and over the gages..
then finished up the forming of the bends to get things where i wanted...
then I used the laid out and drilled bracket to line drill the plastic for (2) 1/8th" rivets....
then popped a couple rivets in...
then got'er wired up and functioning with the 5th gear mapping set....
and viola.....
where i wanted and the way i wanted...
sorta "particular" about things....aren't i?
