Default Dual Gauge Dash???

I recently had my 08 Nightster traded off for an 09 Night Train and i have a question regarding dash kits. I want to put a Tach on the bike but i bought a springer front end for it and i do not want to clutter it up with a tach. I was wondering if there are any good options for a dual gauge dash that i could put on the new Train? I have also looked at several speedo/tach's but cant find much of a selection. I got time considering im in iraq at the moment so i have been shopping around but cant seem to find exactly what im looking for. i dont mind a chrome dash but my main ideal for the bike is keeping it flat black. Any info/opinions on currently used setups would be nice. Any help is appreciated.

Check the Harley catalogue, they have a number of combination speedo/tach guages that fit in the original speedo bezel on your tank.

I have checked the harley catalog and i do not like the prices. $500 for a gauge seems a bit ridiculous for a gauge. I would considering spending 500 for a dual gauge dash with gauges but just a gauge is not going to work for me.

Most of the good HD dealers will give you 20% of making it about $400. But thats about what your gonna spend if you want to keep things streamlined. Welcome to the world of overpriced cr@p from Harley, LOL

This is the only one I know of, but the thread is about a rocker.

I'd like one for my cross bones but it doesn't say it's compatible.
