Nope........but I've been fingering with the thought....(mine's an 07 king tho)

I just todaybought theHD tachkit for my Sportster and got home and restudied my desires for one on the Road King......You might want to consider this too.

What I decided was all I really need is a shift light that I can program for peak TQ/HP, not redline.....I really don't need a tach, but I do fersure want the programable shift light feature built into the tack I selected for the sporty.

What I did learn so far is it's best to buy the exact HD tach that is packaged and configured to allow direct bolt on and plug in installation.....there is also the HD speedo/tach combination where all is in one gagefacethat simply replaces your existing speedo.

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. It's suppose to have the speedo/tach combo. If you're interested I'll let you know how it looks and works.

I have not installed one , but did order one on an 08 RK.

I opted for the tach that mounts on the bars. I am glad I did.

very easy to see with a quick glance. If you want the HD part

numbers, or want me to check the wiring email me or post request.

The tach speedometer combo, seemed like it would be harder to

check, with a quick glance down.

Yep, I did. The entire miserable story is in another thread. Just search for my user name. I finished it today.
