Do you run a tachometer on a new FXDWG?
I am thinking of adding a tach to my 2012 FXDWG and was thinking of this integrated tach/speedo offered by HD in the attached photo. I am not crazy aout the fact that the tach is analog, but the speedo is not. Does anyone provide feedback about alternatives and/or post some pics to see what some options my look like? Thanks!

If you want to wait a few months you could go with the Dakota Digital. The current model doen't work with the 12 FXDWG but they are aiming for a May release of the model that will work. The model number will be MCL-3212 instead of MCL-3204. I emailed them and asked about the gauge and they replied with the estimated release and model number.
Here's the link for the page with description of the current MCL-3204 for an idea of what the MCL-3212 will feature.

Personally, I'm waiting for the blue version to release , I think it will look nice with the flush mount gas cap and gauge I already have.

I have the integrated tach/speedo offered by HD on my 2012 Wide Glide and I love it, but to each their own.

True enough. I've found adding a tach is nice for about a day or two, but once you see the rpm for each speed/gear combo, it's not necessary anymore.

The tach is small, but at least it is still an analog speedo
74774-11
They have it in black face too.
If I had a 2012 I would have one in a heartbeat. A relative bargain at $260. My 08 runs $500
