I heard someone say that the speedo's on the 12 Wide Glides are different than the 10/11 models. Such as color and there is a built in tach. Is this true? Just curious.

 

I would like to know this as well. If so, then I will be changing mine out.

 

It's true,the 2012 models have a built in tach.

 

And from my understanding, those of us with 10/11's can't upgrade because the 12's have a CAN bus electrical system.

 

I would'nt be bothered changing it out,I'd go get a speedo/tach combined.This new speedo on the 12's you can only choose 1 function at a time.

 

The only 4" speedo available for 11 and older the Street Bob/Wide Glide is the Dakota Digital.

 

The tach and gear display is nice... I think it uses a calculation of speed and RPM to determine the gear because it only works with the clutch engaged. As soon as you pull on the clutch the display goes away.

 

this is true, when i had my wide glide i was researching it and due to can bus they are incompatible.
personally i love the tach/gear feature and will be upgrading to the other style with the sweeping tach in the spring.

 

I have a 2012 wide glide and am selling my speedo as I switched mine out before I even took possession from the dealer, PM me if you want to buy it.

 

from what i understand u can not put a 2012 in a 11/10 because they are two completly different sizes. i could be wrong but i thought that i read that somewhere.
