The adjustment on my Shotgun is almost all the way forward already with the stock 106 chain. I think I would order a 108 chain if installing a 16T front sprocket. Now I want to get a 16T sprocket, and wouldn't you know, I just ordered a new D.I.D 520VX3 Gold X-Ring 106 chain :-/
Oh, never mind ;-)
.
The hash marks on mine are at 5.5, roughly. Same chain that you ordered but the steel version. You and your fancy Gold chain. Dogs are color blind, I think, so Cisco won’t be impressed with your fancy schmancy chain. Ha!

The same on my SM with 16 teeth and standard chain.

Today Hitchcocks rev counter set arrived and I couldn' resist to install it right away 
Nice package with a daytona tach and a well done harness and bracket.

Very nice. When you get a chance I would like to know the r.p.m. at 120 kph. The 16T front sprocket should really help to put it in the meat of the torque band at that speed in 6th gear. Thanks.

Just tested: 6th gear - 120km/h - ~4700rpm.

What can be programmed into the digital window?

Max revs, voltage or displaycolor shortcut (choose between white, blue, orange)
.
I like the idea of being able to see the voltage.

The red, black, and yellow wires are for power, ground, and tachometer. So, how do you make the connections for the display mode or color?

Oh, mode and set buttons underneath. Here are PDFs of Hitchcock's kit and Velona48 tacho. A bit pricy, but I am so tempted. Is it my birthday yet? ;-)

Yes, a bit pricy, on the other hand, imagine you need to configure and produce everything in such a OEM quality by yourself, calculated with a decent hour rate ...

While waiting for my chain and breaker tool, I installed a pair of Photon Booster front marker lights. The spacer combination and brackets mounted nicely. I tried to make the wiring as unobtrusive as possible. I sleeved the wires to smooth out the bends. I think it turned out pretty good. These lights are very bright, and will be very effective on those foggy mornings. The added visibility helps my peace of mind.

I don't know if is only me but I would stay with the original ones.

Oh no, sorry. I thought they were going to replace the original blinkers lol

Looks good, but when those things are lit up, Cisco might mistake them for a fresh Bully Strip. Then you’d have a real mess on your hands.

I installed the new chain yesterday and had a pleasant ride to work today. The stock chain just didn't mesh with the rear sprocket very well and would get alternately tight and loose. There was definitely a bad section that is stiff compared to the rest of the length. I lubed it often, but I don't think it was assembled with enough lube to begin with. A 106 chain is just barely long enough, and the wheel is adjusted almost all the way forward. I don't know why the stock chain is a 106, it should be 108. But, the new chain rides smoothly over the sprockets now (and it looks awesome).
