I put one of their speedos on my FXD and love it. The quality of construction is incredible and the multi-functions are great. I'm not a wrench and finally gave up on the install and had one of my buddies come over and finish the job.

I had FBI install them at a rally last year (Free install with purchase). I bought them because I was having trouble reading the odometer on the stock gauges. These I have no trouble with. I love them. I took a photo of the stock odometer and keep it with my registration for verification of mileage. Kept the original too.

I'm running their dresser kit and love them. Install was easy, auto dims when it gets dark and allows adjustment of the speedo. Also lets you know what gear you are in and when your service is due.

I had them installed on my 08 Ultra Classic. Easy to see in the brightest sunshine, and automatically dims at night.

Wifes 97 RKC has the Dakota Digital speedo/tach which was installed in the bike when we got it & worked great when we first had it but now it shows a spd/err and sometimes a tach/err message and I'm unable to calibrate the tach & speedo now. I'm stumped! Other than that I really like the unit.
