If the connector looks like this one it's a Deutsch 12 pin connector 23 x 12 mm...

Todd, IMO in his initial post *** is referring to the gauge connectors. That's where my link goes...Your post shows the main harness, doesn't it?

Perhaps ... I think between us we have helped get him started ... although I agree you have probably been of more help (as usual) ....

I think he will still need to look at a wiring diagram to know which wire to program where ....

Don't you have a link to wiring diagrams, as well ...?

thanks all for your help,
and yes, I'm trying to find out if some 5" gauge has the same connector as my OEM 4" gauge, a picture of a OEM mounted 5" on a Dyna would be very helpful to

my indy showed me a Softail connector and it's way bigger than mine, I should be able to recognize it on a picture

I'm not completely sure that I understand what you're looking for....but I think you're asking for a picture of the connector socket on a late model Dyna speedo to compare it with what you've got... Is that correct?

If so, I'll be happy to snap and post a pic of the factory speedo that just came out of my 2011 superglide. Let me know and if that's what you want I should be able to do it later this afternoon.

thanks aclundwall,

but I was at the local dealer this afternoon and he had a Fat Bob and Wide Glide tachos in stock, they both have a Softail connector, conclusion: I'll have to cut and weld !

hope they both have the same amouint of wires and the same color code !

thanks all for your help

***,

If you let me know the year/model gauge you want to install to what year/model bike I could try to find out what connector you're gonna need. Perhaps you'll be able to put in the pins in a new connector housing without cutting & soldering....

I don't have the 5" gauge yet, so if there's a version that would ease the proces I'll take that one !

thanks for you help

Let me know if it'll help and I'll post them up.
Are these any help? 5" gauge on a Fat Bob. I swapped out the standard speedo for a Combination Speedo/Tach.
