Just picked up an 08 Dyna Superglide for the wife and hate that it doesn't have a tach. I have found quite a few incomplete posts about putting a tach kit from the 04-05 Dynas on with some harness mods but nothing final.

I also found a Dakota aftermarket tach combo but really don't care for the look.

Any info would be appreciated.

 

You should find everything you need in this post, including a link in the opening thread:

I wired this Harley tach on my '09. The link to the instruction sheet is

Three wire connection, you just have to sift through the sheet to find the three relevant to your ride.

 

Harley makes a Speedo/tach combo for a little less then the Dakota digital. I've been planning to do this to my bike after seeing a thread in the softail section. Check out youtube there's a couple videos about installation and function.

 

i ended up doing a low rider dash on mine, i love it! super easy to install the tach and get it hooked up...

 

If you want a simple and easy one to install, go with Microtach. I put it on top of the riser clamp and its plenty bright. Have had it for over 5 years now.

if you buy a sportster tach from Harley mind the bezel color - I didn't, and now I'm stuck with a chrome speedo and a black tach

 

we can open up the speedo and change that for you, we coat trim rings and re assemble all the time
