The problem I am having is no wiring plug in and no info about if these tachometers will work on my ride.The first I found was a kit to add a tachometer, but not sure if it will work or has all the parts. I don't really want a wiring nightmare. I know many will say easy to wire, but I have heard some people having problems with they work, maybe half speed . Aftermarkets don't have kits that I have found yet and I want to match my existing speedometer. So bigger headache than I wanted for now, I'll just wait a bit. I do appreciate all the input from all of you here at the best forum for our rides. Thanks.
most of the tax will have three wires: power, ground, speed. The speed will go to the pink wire in the harness under your console. If it is not reading accurately then its likely someone has upgraded your ignition. In that case, you will have to connect to a different wire. Just find the documentation online for your ignition and it will tell you exactly what to connect. In terms of wiring difficulty, this is not hard at all. The biggest challenge would be if you had to run a new wire from the ignition up to the tach. And even thats not difficult.
@1madmouseHere's a link to the H-D Instruction Sheet for the Tachometer kit.
The tachometer's p/n is 67042-99. If you search Ebay for this p/n you'll find multiple sellers...
The above p/n is for the tach with a chrome trim.
P/n 68941-99 has a black trim and wil fit as well.
Some are listed at Ebay for under and around US 100
Thanks again I am looking at the double set-up Speedo and tach side by side should be plug and play, but not finding the complete kit with wiring and Tachometer. I have found quite a few Tachs. I don't want to cut or splice wiring if I don't have to. I was warned kits are probably non existent or really hard to find. I am trying to decide if I really need to add the Tach. Its going to be polished/chrome lower fork tubes or Tach. I'll figure it out
I don't want to cut or splice wiring if I don't have to.
you’re looking to add an electronic gauge to your older bike. You have to. Come to grips with it. Buy a decent set of wire cutters and a good stripper. Then get a heat gun and these
Polished Fork lower sliders won this round. I have the tools and info to do the gauge add, but no time right now. I have seen plug and play wiring just have to find it again.
