Default Is there any reason this won't work on my '03 Ultra Classic?

The Spun Aluminum style gauge HD #67516-04A was not offered until '04 on the Screaming Eagle Ultra.

Is there any difference between the '03 and '04 that would keep this speedometer from working on my '03 Ultra?

Well I considered that the wiring harness may be different but the Accessory Catalog has these gauges in the touring section and not in the SE section. It's actually promoting these Spun Aluminum gauges be upgraded onto the non SE models.

Since these gauges were not offered until the '04 Screaming Eagle model they wouldn't be found in an '03 catalog.

In 2004 the gauges were put on the j-1850 serial data line. These are the gauges that read out all the codes in the speedo LCD. The gauges will not work on a bike that the speedo and tach are not part of the j-1850 system. Aside from the wiring, you would need to change the ECM and calibration by flashing in a new vin#

Ok, well that pretty much answers my question. I sure do like those gauges and was hopping that I could use them.

Thanks for the information.
