Default Looking for a Tach...

Well, I am kinda newb to the HD Forum scene but not to HDs , been lurking around for the past 6 or so months. Anyways, Ill get on with it. I been looking for a tach for my 03 Softail with the EFI, preferably a 4 inch and not the measly 2 inch. Authentic HD is what I am looking for without the dealer cost... My question is what models of bikes will fit my 03 also? Any advice or info, custom shops or ebay items, etc is appreciated. If I remember right, my father put a sportser tach on his Carbed 01 Softail back years ago, but these EFIs (always been a Carb fan) kinda have us questioning what will work and what wont, or if they are even much different in that aspect.

Thanks all!

I was checking out some video of a Night Train on Youtube and it had a 2 digit digital tach that mounted on the bars in front of the brake fluid resevoir.

I don't know who makes it, where to find it... anything. But I want to find it. It looked pretty cool.

Is there a valid reason why HD's don't come with a tach?

I'm leaning towards the HD combo speedo/tach. They make a couple of them.

Here is a link to the one I'm lookin at buying.
