Default Replace stock speedometer

I am thinking of going to this to replace stock speedo on my 2010 Road King Police. I like the fuel gauge, gear selector and multiple color options. I am seeing good reviews online but I am asking for comments from those who have it. What are the plusses and minuses? What about the stock tach. mounted by the handlebars? Is that one eliminated after install or does it still work? Does the tach. on the new speedo work or just the factory one? Maybe both? Thanks in advance

I have one of these on my 08 Heritage and love it. No cons, all pros. The fuel gage seems more accurate, the gear indicator is awesome and the tachometer is a nice addition. Just make sure you buy the correct units (km vs miles).

That's what I have been hearing. Going to pick one up tonight after work. Still don't know how it will interchange with my existing tach. I hope the parts guy can tell me.
