Hey Rich, good job setting it straight - sorry it cost you so much dinero.
I had the regulator go on my shovel FXR, while riding. I had just enough juice ( after some how push starting it ) to make a short ride home, at night. Kept the revs high and stopped for nothing, like traffic lights or cars blocking my path. As I was only outputting one birthday candle power for lights, I slipped through traffic in stealth mode. Bike quit for good at my garage door. New regulator and a new battery was the fix here. Better days ahead to you Rich.
Very lucky you made it home that night. Back in 1975 I had a 66 Shovel FLH with basically the same issues and barley a glow to the headlight. While cruising along at 45 mph in Calumet City, IL, a car pulled out of a gas station and broadsided me. I spent 9 days in the hospital before making it back home. that really sucked!
If the Sportster tach fits, it will work. That is, electrically they are the same, assuming not EFI v. Carb. Even then, they will probably work, but I'd have to look at the bike schematics.

Many thanks Dr. I think I'll just go that route and get one marked with a 6000 rpm red-line.

Yeah buddy, I'm going to make a new Dash and it will have room for a voltage gauge and possibly an air pressure gauge.
