Everone,
I was in my favorite H/D Shop and saw this Speedo / Tack that has over 600 Color variations, all the bells and whisles stuff. A friend of mine said not to buy it. It's good for two or three years and then goes down hill from there. He suggested buying a Dakota Digital instead. What do ya think. Go for it or not?
Mine is over 2 years old and running strong. I get lots of "I've been wanting that" comments at bike gatherings. The Dakota seems pretty cool, however I prefer a Harley part when feasible and I prefer the analog look of my unit. Also I think the Dakota is twice the price.
+1 on TB's gas gauge comment. Just yesterday my gauge stated I had 20 miles to empty and at fill up it took 4.3 gals. I figure I actually had about 30 miles to empty but I think that's pretty accurate. When it gets under 30 miles to empty the gas light comes on and the "miles to empty" are displayed and starts counting down. I also like the clock display since I don't ride with a watch. Highly recommend this speedo/tach.
Love mine, but I can't figure why they didn't come stock like that... Oh yeah, it's so we'd go buy one... Anyways, great mod, mine's only a year old so can't say much about the life span.
