Default 2-stroke single shift light

Anyone know for sure if there exists a shift light that will work on a 2-stroke single cyl application?.
I'm running a 12v battery and MSD jet ski ignition that has a tach output. All the lights I've looked at so far seem to be for car (4 cyl and up ) use.
Know lots of guys draggin Banshees and such but none use a shift light.
Anybody?

Thanks, have one on it already. I have it mounted down near ignition trigger plate to track idle speed and confirm ignition curve when tuning. Really lookin for a shift light

most of those digital tachs only go up to 9999 rpms ..on a full tilt banshee that wouldnt register nearly high enough but a cr500 probably wouldnt get over 8 grand

Yeah I know bout the digital tachs, but this is a shift light and as you can see in my post above, it has a 15,900 rpm limit. That should cover any 'shee that plans on makin more than one pass at that rpm.
And as far as the need for one in the first place, I've been around the m/c dragracing game for 25+ yrs and have won and lost races by less than .002 of a second more times than I can remember. Bracket racing is a brutal, unforgiving sport that punishes you for even the smallest of mistakes, and shifting at even 50 rpm different on even 1 of 4 shifts during a run can send you home early.
Try one and watch your runs become more consistant as well as whup-up on the guys who ain't got one.
