Looking at adding the HD combo tach...74774-11b.
Any input on this? My ears are just fine when it comes to redlining but I'd like the added feature.

 

I love mine, for one thing you can have a rainbow of color combinations I think the whole unit looks great, to be honest I never look at the tacho.

 

Thnx, Lauren. I also want to add that I'm a bit envious you get to run the snake before me, have fun > grinz

 

Thanks, going twice this summer, got another trip planned in July (auto train from Sanford and riding back).

 

I have one for my 03. It looks cool but the tach placement on the tank renders it completely useless unless you're stopped. If you have a manual idle control like me then it's useful. But at idle is the only time.

You do NOT want to look down at your tank when going for redline.

I had a handlebar mounted tach on my Road King and it was a lot more useful as it was close to my peripheral vision. I'd strongly suggest against the tank mounted unit if you like revving through the gears like I do (and I think you do...).

By the way our bikes have a rev limiter at 5200 so unless you're getting a time slip, you can use that. lol

Tapping the rev limiter in my Vette will cost me .05 so it's critical to stay out of it even though I have the recovery set as quickly as possible. That's not so critical on Racetrack 54. ;-)

 

Thnx, Joe...good point about the visual, it is in a small area. That was the determining factor, going with the 70900001A now.
Race? Moi? Never! lmfao

 

Why not get the Dakota Digital MCL2004

 

@ Next In Line...another good option no doubt. Think I prefer the 70900001A tho, I like this analog tach with the digital speedometer.

*Features an easy-to-read digital speedometer within a spun aluminum surface, and an analog tachometer that sweeps the perimeter of the face

I have the combo speedo / tach on my Heritage. Great item.

 

I would do something more heads up if you want function...I rarely look that far down and use mine for speed. When I have a full face, it's dangerous.... Combos do look better however. I doubt I could see an LED one half the time except at night. Never use it to shift or anything like that. Harleys have a rev limiter but I rarely exceed 4K and have never seen 5K. People say they can take it however. Mine does not feel happy at that rpm , besides my guardian angel is a scaredy-cat..?HA
