Default Koso tach/speed as additional gauge

Hey guys! I'm considering purchase of "Koso" gauge for my FXDWG 2012, but would like to keep my stock one as well, since the "Koso" primary function is tacho (with SHIFT LIGHT!! ), and would sit perfectly on the risers area, while the stock one with speedo as primary, stays inside the dash. I'm wondering if this is possible to combine? I'm not sure if there's additional gauge connector somewhere, left to be used, or maybe I will have to split all wires to duplicate the signal, or what??? Thanks in advance. Here's an exact Koso model:

It appears to me that this gauge is supposed to replace the original, so I would think you'd have
to have some sort of 'pigtail' type splitter for the connector - if that is even possible, electrically speaking....

Here's the Koso website & pdf installation instructions.

good luck,

Thats exactly what bothers me... What would happen if the signal is separated and fed to another device??? I hardly doubt it would function properly, tbh... Could even cause some damage, I'm afraid...
