Yea, I'll manage it. Just hate little fiddly stuff like pins in connectors.... I'm looking forward to it, I'm used to having a tach.

Yeah I didn't understand why they didn't just send the piece as one solid unit already jumped.

Exactly. Its typical of this type of thing though, not just Harley, they don't want to spend the extra buck on assembling it.

Do the pins snap in firmly or do you just have to hope they're in fully?

and last but not least, maybe least too, do the connectors actually have numbers on them for identification?

Yeah they snap in solidly. They are numbered on the connector.

Thanks for all your help! Is the connector itself also numbered, as in does it have "200B" somewhere on the connector?

That I don't remember but it was the only connector of that type. So it was easy to spot.

OK, sender kit comes with 3 of those little plastic "seal pins". Best I can determine, only 1 is needed. is this right or am I missing something?
