I've been having a hard time choosing as well. I love the blacked out look of the Dakota but I think I'm leaning towards the Harley version to retain the needle.

Thanks dude. I like the Dakota speedo. The all black looks the goods and will look even better when they are in the black CVO risers next week. The red display is easy to read and all the info is clear and simple. Tacho works well and there is a lot of info readily available. Dims at night too. Basically, it's well priced, looks good (just my opinion of course!) and has all the info I could need.
I have also opted for the Woods 222 and they will go in next week once I have my new map from FM. Have you changed the cams?
It looks good, but I personally like having a needle for my tach.

I have the HD version with analog (needle) tach and digital speedo, and love it. Very easy to read quickly, accurate,. For me, it is also a plus that the gray face goes with my bike's metal flake silver paint well.

[QUOTE=mseymour3;13338421]I was in the same dilemma and ended up going with the HD one. I'm extremely happy with it. The analog tachometer looks really cool over the digital readout. Here's mine with all the colors turned to red at the moment.

[QUOTE=Goldsgym;13339228]Yeah I was about 27 miles to empty when I snapped that picture. I wanted to make sure the fuel level was going to read accurately on the new gauge...nah man actually there's no good excuse for it...that's 100% pure laziness on my part after a ride out hahaa

I here you
I was told that the recall they had was to re flash the stock speedo for the accuracy of the fuel gauge and since I bought the upgrade, I would no longer need it. It was for the oem one only.
I still fill it up once I hit one bar left.

Just received most of the parts for the blackline dash, a Custom Dynamics curved LED lit side mount plate frame, and a axle mount license plate relocation bracket. Still need the mounting bracket for underneath the blackline console before I can complete that mod but hopefully getting the license plate bracket mounted today.
I ordered the license plate bracket from accufast2d on Ebay and have nothing but great things to say so far. Here is a separate thread about side mount license plates and pictures and even has another user who has already installed the same bracket with a Custom Dynamics plate frame. I'll try to post some pics of mine in that thread when done installing also.

What you were told might, or might not, be correct. I think MAYBE incorrect. They don't reflash the speedo unit when they reflash; they can only reflash the computer. The computer is what actually stores the data and does the calculations.
You can test this by asking HD how you handle getting the correct actual odometer reading when installing a new speedometer on a late model HD bike that already has odometer miles on it. The answer is you do NOTHING. The computer remembers the odometer miles, and simply feeds the corrected data to the new speedometer.
I THINK this means that the reflash does not affect either HD and aftermarket instruments. It does affect the computer, which then affects BOTH types of instruments.

That's what I thought and was worried that it might effect my Dino mapping. So I went to my dealers service dep. the service manager looked it up and he told me that it was not the ecu but the re flashing of the part# for the oem speedo. He stated since I have the new multi fit speedo I would not need to do anything. He said if he did he would be re flashing a flash on the wrong speedo.
