Speedo/tach combo question
I hate not having a tach.
Instead of an add-on, I'm looking at the HD combination speedo/tach that drops into the current speedometer hole. (HD part # 74676-09).

My question is do you retain the current features: two trip meters; odo.;clock, low fuel miles to empty and "idiot lights" for 6th gear, low fuel, fuel injectors, check engine, oil temp?
I've asked two dealerships and they scratched their heads and I called HD customer service and was told they don't know b/c they outsource them but they wouldn't let me call their vendor and ask them. What a laugh.

Though not exactly the same set-up as the one you are looking at, I have the spun alumnium speedo/tach combination for my 08 FXDC. It has two trip meters, and odometer, low fuel indicator, 6th gear light, check engine/oil light, and security alarm light (I think that's it). There's no clock, oil temp, or miles until empy, as you alluded to in your post.
Hope that helps...

I can tell you that my Heritage has a speedo option that shows what gear you are in and your RPM. I drive leaving it selected and check it all the time. I obviously still have the two trip meters, DTE, clock and mileage.
Having said that I can't imagine that the one you are looking at would leave out those other options.

I'm not familiar with that on a Harley. Sometimes, I find that I am a gear too high or too low. Not necessary, but a nice feature. I have the 6th gear indicator. Without it, I know I'd be looking for 7th! Was it a stock unit?

I have one just like the one you pictured. It's on my '07 Heritage. Mine does not have a clock or miles to empty feature. But it does have all the rest.

All functions available on the tach/speedo combo
I have the same unit on my 09RK. It's an easy plug'n'play install for the later models. Depending on who you buy it from, they will ask you what mileage you want on it. If you buy it directly from a dealer they will probably check either your service history or visually check your bikes odometer. I ordered mine via the phone and the guy asked what I wanted on it. Just depends I guess.
ps: just don't get it wet, they are not that water tight.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes it is stock on the new Heritages.
