I can get along fine without the gear number indication, but would really want a tachometer!
I'll be waiting for any helpful product suggestions.

Take a look at the Trail Tech computers. I have one installed on my Honda CRF250X, and I love it.

Spud,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had forgotten all about TrailTech products.
Also, do you have any suggested supplier for a larger fuel tank for the DRZ400SM? 2.6 gallons is too small for distance back trail exploring.

I found a larger fuel tank for the Suzuki DRZ400SM. It's made by Clarke and it holds 3.9 gallons. Quite a nice increase in capacity compared to the 2.6 gallon stock fuel tank. Won't have to worry about running low or out of fuel while out in the bonnies.

And it will fit with my Sargent Adventure Seat.

You made a good choice.

I installed a Clarke, 4.7-gallon fuel tank on my Honda XR650L, and a Clarke 4.1-gallon fuel tank on my Yamaha XT225. Clarke makes excellent fuel tanks; I am very pleased with mine.

Hmm.. has anyone looked to see if a honda tank from Clarke will fit our Hawks? This may be a viable option for when that thin factory tank gives out.
