Thinking of swapping my console(2010) for the new one on my FatBoy Lo. The tach would be a welcome feature. Anyone do this?

I would wait on that. First of all the dealer is going to tell you that it won't work (they really don't know) and we probably all have that feature in our ECMs now. Who knows, maybe someday someone will figure out how to program it into our displays.

I agree the tach would be a welcome feature. I am considering adding one but it isn't going to be cheap. Then again, nothing is cheap when it comes to "mods" on these bikes.

Go with the tach/speedo combination.
