I wanted a separate gauge so I went with the HD one. Got the kit and changed the handlebar clamp and it works fine.

That Dakota gauge looks cool, but for a bit more you could buy a Dynojet Power Vision and display any number of ECM parameters and get a flash tuner to boot. You can tap on the display (there are about 10, here are 2) and change it to display whatever you want:

Judging by the bar and shield logo on it I would say yes, it's a factory part:

Canadian site, too much $ for too little information IMO.

I too have been wanting a tach, not a digital, they seem out of place on the Iron. I want a small needle and guage tach that would fit just to the left of my speedo.

for the iron you can get a matching tach kit that looks good.
