I tried for weeks to fit a gear indicator to my RC8 and found it impossible to get a strong enough pulse with the can bus wiring system. Even the manufacturer could not get it to work.
The most helpful company was Acumen, I told them it was one of their indicators and they tried their best to help, the wiring was fairly similar.
