Default Motogadget Mini Wiring Help!!!!!!!!!

I am in dire need of some assistance. I am trying to install a Motogadget Mini in my 2008 Sportster 883L. I can get power and the switch to work. However, I am not getting any speed or tach. I would have thought the serial data wire from the old speedo would carry at least the speed and odomoter reading once I ride it. Has anyone wired one up that can help?

Do you have a manual for your bike?

I'm curious how this went. I'm looking at getting a Motogadget mini mount for my 08 Nightster and was curious if our tach is an actual analog or actually gets digital inputs and is just displayed as analog.
