Default Tach Wiring

How in the heck do you wire up an aftermarket tach to an 09 Sportster?? Where is the speedo wire, or do you have to splice it into the coil?

Do what I did on my 09 SuperGlide and buy the Tach Speedo Combination it's plug and play 5 min. to take old one out 5 min to put new one in and off you go with everything working just like before.
