Default Installed Digital Tachometer

Just installed this digital tachometer from Speedway Instruments;

http://www.speedwayinstrument.com/

And here is some photo links of it on my bike;

Awesome price and easy install. Works great and keeps from from trying to shift into 6th gear.

Very nice, have you had a chance to test it out yet, and if so do you like it? Thanks for the info, may look into it.

Hi again HDH thank you, yes, I have put maybe 50 miles so far and love it. I like the high tech look and especially how easy it was to mount it and where it mounted to. There is a video at the speedway website that shows it in operation, kind of cool.

That is cool. Looks pretty simple to install, too. I liked the "comic life" instructions.

I like it. I want one. Am concerned about seeing it in sunlight with the sun shining on it though. Nice addition with a price that is reasonable. Have to put it on my christmas list.
Ride safe.

Awesome product. I have one of the early models in black plastic. Good price and dead-on accurate. Fits well with the sporty too.

Ihave been running one for 6 months and my only complaint is Harkey doesn't install them from the factory! No problems in bright sunlight, I very rarely even look at the speedometer any more, tach is dead on accurate. Great product!

Yes I agree, I think it should be a standard item from Harley. Maybe Justin can sell it to them as that and make a bundle and retire off the proceeds.

I must have put two or three other types of tach's on that didnt work or fit correct and had to return them all, basically I gave up until I saw this one.

Great price like you say.
