There are Dyna models with a tacho, so all you have to do is copy one of them. You can see the parts involved on-line here. However call in on the Dyna section, where the members there can probably give you some detailed guidance.

Also 01 us dual fire. So need a tach that cuts pulses in half, unless you have after market ignition and changed to single. Both cylinders fire at the same time 2001
