Default Drag Specialties Mini-Tach on a 2008 FLSTC

Can I install a Drag Specialties Mini Tach on a 2008 Heritage Softail? If so, does anyone have detailed instructions on how to do it, and what, if any other parts are needed to make it work? I took this tach off a Honda Sabre hoping to get it to work on the FLSTC.

Thanks,

Bikergeek

You should be able to. Should be three wires: (1) power, (2) ground, (3) signal. The power/ground you should be able to figure out... find power and ground. Some people tap into the speedo power. I've heard of others tap into the headlight. Wire the signal to the #3 spot on the harness either at the speedo or at the electrical box. Should be were your signal comes from.
