New Speedo
I bought a new hd speedo/tach combo on line and want to get my current mileage put on it from my old one. I called the dealer here and they said they couldn't do it. They only do it at the factory. Is this true or was he telling me this because I didn't by it from them. Does anyone know where I could get this done? Thanks.

RE: New Speedo
Depending on who you ordered it from they should be able to update the mileage for ya! My wife bought one online for me as a surprise from Chicago HD last year. \\; She never knew that they contacted me wanting mileage for the new speedo/tach that was ordered. \\; I love her!!!!  \\;

Yes... that's the one drawback that I hated about switching over.

When I ordered mine I had to tell them what to set it for, and given the shipping time I estimated it with a buffer. I had to go riding the day I installed it to get my \\;mileage close, just because.

You could also record the mileage on the current odometer in your manual when you make the change, so the offset is documented for legal purposes.

RE: New Speedo
I just installed a combo unit. Part #74744-08. The factory has to reinstate the mileage. The dealer took the mileage and forwarded it to the factory with the order. My combo was for a 2008 Heritage and did have the clock function. In fact, it has all of the functions of the stock speedo. Based on what I have read in this forum \\;the older models (prior to 2008) of the combo units didn't have the clock function. The 2008 model does.[sm=icon_rock.gif]
