Default RE: Tach hookup
There is no labelled tach pin on any of the 2006 Dynas to the best of my knowledge. There is definitely not one in the service manual electrical schematics for my bike, the Street Bob.

Pin #3 on the ECM will definitely work and *some* people supposedly have had success with pin #3 on the back of the speedo so that may be worth a shot. Mine did NOT work when I attempted to get a signal off of the speedo. Both are undocumented but I can vouch for the pin on the ECM.

There is nothing attached to that pin, so there is no wire to splice into. You'll have to get one of the pins and crimp it on the tach signal wire and then disassemble the big electrical connector to add you new pin to it. It isn't hard though. 72076-00 is the part number for the electrical connector. It took the parts guy and me a while to determine which pin was the right pin, but he had them in little baggies and was able to sell them individually. I bought extras since I didn't have the specific crimping tool used for these things and was afraid I would tear a few up (and I did).

Here are some links to few pictures of adding the ECM pin in case I made it sound worse than it really is:

As the above post stated, Pin 3 on the ECM will provide the necesary signal.

I installed a tach from HD and you will need to put a pin in the fuse box to get power to it. HD does sell a wiring harness that I used to install mine.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong............

I believe stock rev limit is 5800 rpm on all the TC88s.
The HD download will increase it to 6200 rpm.

On page B-63 shows that pin#3 is for the tach output, that is the only page that shows it on the ecm.
