I've never done it, but I'd check YouTube first and would guess an HD unit would come with decent instructions. All info is retained in the ECU, then it's a matter of unscrewing the dash and existing connections, then re-installing. Should be pretty straight forward plug-n-play, I'm thinking of switching mine at some point as well so I'm interested to hear someone's first hand hack at it~

Tank Speedo
The real first question you should ask yourself is " what dash, that will accommodate a speedo, will fit my tank."
Not all the dyna tanks have the same profile so you have to find out which one will fit. A SB might or a Super Glide custom maybe the one. I don't know the answer but that should be your first concern.
What size is your current speedo...4"-5" ? My 06 is a 4" but I think later they went to a 5".
If you have to buy a new speedometer, you will need to tell the parts person, where you buy it, what your current mileage is. The ECM will not plug that info in from the memory. I say this because when you go to sell or trade in the bike you have to sign a statement about the mileage.
