I have a custom 93 Fatboy with a 1340cc EVO motor. At present it has a after market mechanical speedo which is not accurate and I don't like the look of the speedo cable going to the front wheel.
What I would like to do is convert the speedo drive to a electronic one and replace the existing speedo with one from Dakota Digital.
Has anyone done this and is this a difficult job?
One additional point, my bike has a custom loom so I guess it may not be a straight forward job
Hi i have a 92 fatboy and i moved the mechanical speedo to the back wheel.was easy to do and gets rid of the ugly speedo cable from the front.IF you want to go dakota digital i think they sell a electronic sensor that goes to the rear wheel that connects to the dakota digital
Thanks Harley7316, I will look into using the rear wheel sensor, looks the best/easiest way to go. Just need to check out my existing Speedo now and hope its not a strange size.
