I think it looks interesting, but not sure how well it works or if its worth it. I am hoping someone has checked it out already. I dont plan on using it to replace my speedometer but the tach and other features could be usefull.

HarleyDroid: Harley Davidson J1850 Data Analyser for Android.
Page History
Introduction:
This Android application captures, decodes and analysed the J1850 stream coming from the data bus of a Harley Davidson bike.
Some of the decoded information (RPM, speed, odometer etc) is shown on the screen and can be saved on the external storage (SDcard) for later usage.
Hardware requirements:
To use this application you will need:
1.a Bluetooth ELM327 module (you can choose between the real one or a cheap Chinese clone - you can buy them at $25 on ebay)
2.a custom cable interfacing the ELM327 module to the 3 pin data/diagnostic port on your bike (the port uses a 4 pin Deutsch connector and is placed near the battery on my Sportster):
Custom cable schematics:
Harley data port 16 pin J1979 connector (ELM327)
