Default Harley speedo/tach question

Looking at buying one of the Harley speedo/tach units for my 2010 Heritage softail Classic. The Harley site shows two part numbers but they appear to be the same.

70900070a
70900072a
Anyone know the difference

Also for those who have them, does the unit have a clock and does it show all gear positions or just 6th?

Thanks

The difference between the two, is that 70900072a shows KMH also.

Yes, it has a clock.

Yes is shows all gear positions, 1 - 5 in the digital display, 6th gear is a red light near the "0" MPH.

I have the 70900070A and really like it, but if you are a little older and use reading glasses, then the Tach and gear position is a little difficult to see.

All six gears positions are shown each in its own spot on the LCD, only when the clutch lever is released of course, and it still has the conventional green LED for 6th gear.

The 70900072A has both km/h and mph on the speedo scale plate.

If I was buying again, I'd get one like this:
70900100B

Mine shows 1 - 6 and the conventional green LED for 6th gear, as seen in this video:

I would rather have this one also but, does not show to work on a 2010.

Thanks
