Default speedo/tach combo

Hello everyone, has anyone or know anyone who has any pro's or con's about this item? Or where I can buy a combo relatively cheap? Thank's.

I don't have one... but I've heard a few cons about the dakota digital combos: cost and sometimes difficult to see in direct sunlight.

Yeah, I've got a con for you: The Dakota HLY-2004 model is a 5" inch speedo. My 07 Bob has a 4" speedo console.

I'm not sure what speedo size your 07 WG has, but this unit did not fit in my Dyna. Don't ask me how I found that out.

Measure twice, buy once.

I'm seriously considering Joe Knapp's setup because I miss having a tach. I don't care about my tire speed. I wanna know my engine speed!

Cheers!

See the Tacho in my Sig, easy to fit and easy to read and 1/2 the price of the combo, plus you know it is going to fit,

I did the HD combo Speedo/tach. It was a 30 minute install. A little high on the price. But it was an easy install.

I have the low rider setup on mine, same as Joe Knapps. With some work on here and ebay, I was able to get the parts for under 100 dollars (with some trading of my parts for the low rider ones). If you ask me, it is the best option! I really like it, looks like it belongs there, .......
