Ok id like to put a tach on my FXDC however i would like to do it by having a combination Tach/speedo.

How hard is it is the wiring already there under the console and if so what if any issues do i have with changing out a speedo on my bike as i have 32,000 on the odom now.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Harley sells a speedo/tach combo. that is plug n' play. Do a search maybe?

 

i think you have to get it thru a dealer so they can put the correct milage on the bike... but that may just be something they say so you HAVE to order it thru a dealer...

 

Here in Texas, you have to notify the state and the buyer with a sworn affidavit that the Speedometer has been changed, even if it reflects the correct mileage, I believe. That might be why is suggested dealer perform the service. The HD catalog lists the Combo Speedo/Tach on pages 190-191 for Dyna's, list is $499.00, then install.

 

$499.00? Prices must be set by the same guy as making the oil funnel ! When I get some time I'm going to drop them a line and thank them for not making it $1499.00.

 

There was a thread about a month ago with detailed instruction. The hardest part, if I recall correctly, is running the tach wire to the ECU, crimping a pin on the wire, and putting the pin in the ECU connector... same as about every other virgin tach install.

You will lose a couple functions, like the clock I think, when you go combo.

 

i put a LR dash on my bob and LOVE it! added a tach that way... super clean and gives me that tach i want! in fact it is so clean that many people do not even notice it is not stock... i like that

 

I have a FXDCI similar to yours. I went a different route for a tach. The combo unit is expensive, requires dealer mileage set, but is easy to install. A separate tach costs around half as much, does not require the mileage setting, and is easier to read. See the pic (if I attached it correctly) It's more work to install.
Your mileage may vary.......

 

Thanks for the picture and all advice.

What was the difference between the FXDCI and the FXDC

 

The I is for injected. Yours may be an "I" also.
