RE: Fatboy tach
Yes, I installed it myself and it was very easy. One caveat. You WILL want a trusted assistance to hold the dash for you during a few steps in the install so you don't scratch your tank while performing the swap. Scratching the tank would be a real danger without some help. My wife assisted me.

If I recall I used the HotToppers on mine.

Nice setup Trooper. I may go that way. I notice you have covered the four nuts that hold the handlebar. Is there a part number for them?

Trooper, Did you retain the clock feature on the odometer when you installed the new tach/speedo?

I can't speak for Trooper, but I installed that tach/speedo comb on my '07 Heritage and returned it. I lost the clock, and the odometer display stays on all the time, even when the ignition switch is off. This is after the dealer called HD tech support and ask them if I would lose any '07 features. They assured us that I wouldn't. When we called them back and informed them of the results, they said, "Huh! Return it". I did and then installed the clamp mounted one.
