Default Missing my tach
Just picked a Slim S. While riding I keep looking for the tach. I'm not even going to count the little digital one on the dash (it's to small to do any good).
Anybody add a tach? If so share some details. Thanks

Yeah, check into the new speedo/tack combo. They may have one for yours and they come in several styles. Put one on my 07 Heritage about two years ago and love it. Even though the instructions said it wouldn't show gear position, it does. Costs around $300 and easy to install..

Love my speedo/tacho combo (sounds like Mexican fast food). You can change all the colors too for an interesting look at night.

As mentioned previously, HD has a combo unit - thats what I went
with on my '13 Slim. I've been happy with it. Here's a pic where
you can see what it looks like installed.





hope this helps,

T.

Thanks WKNDS, that helps a lot. I was hoping to find less speedo and more tach in a combo unit. Yours looks good, I may have to go that route.

I like that too, just a little expensive, think they're around 250 or more.
