Heritage Softail Classic
My 12 Heritage had the tach display. When did the Heritage go to 6 speed and 103? Was it 2012 or 2011? I'm thinking that's the year the tach display was added. But it was useless really you'd have to spend too long waiting for it to roll past the display by which time you had already changed gears and kept your eyes off the road for too long.

The 6speed came in 2007. The 103 I think came in 2013 for softails. My 07 doesn't have a tach or gear indicator (except for the little "6" the lights up on the speed when you go into 6th gear. I've got a buddies 13 Fatbob in my garage and it has the gear indicator and tach in the read out.
I changed mine out to the combo Speedo/tach years ago.

Hmmm, none of the 17 specs actually call it a tach. From HD specs.....
"The speedometer face boasts a big, bold display for the odometer, along with an ancillary display for gear and rpm, offering up the information you need on the fly."
Here is the analog speedometer tach for 2017. This is what I have on my 09 too.
