RoadKing tach option
Sent Medallion 2 inquiries about going "pod-less" with a new speedo. They don't even bother replying. Must be nice to not give a $hit..
They "tech" at JP thought I had a Yamaha road-king!!, when I told him he was in the wrong country he said the pod was necessary because the Medallion gauges were deeper than stock..
Guess I will stick with the OEM unit. Drag Specialties sells a new Bezel/glass kit for my speedo. Maybe time to clean it up. There's crap under the glass.

I had the HD Tach / speedo combo on my 2003 RKC and really liked it alot. The tach had the actually needle or pointer on the bottom half, not the digital readout. I liked it, was easy to see at a glance, didn't feel at all distracted. I think they still sell that style tach / speedo combo. When I get another RK I will try to get another of the same setup.

Not working
I have a 2003 RKC. I added the HD speedo/tach combo 2 years ago. It is now acting up on me. The tach works when it feels like. The speedo works fine. I checked with 3 HD dealers. None of them have a clue on how to fix it or where to send it to to be fixed. I put in a thread to ask if anyone had any idea wher I coud send it. 37 views no replys. I would not waste $420 again.
Late update
Went to Carlisle rally last weekend.
Stuck my head in the Kury tent and saw Medallion display.
There was a rep there from Medallion. I verified the POD was indeed required.
I advised him that Medallion should be a little more responsive to inquiries..
They had a bike there with the speedo installed and it really didn't look bad. Different yes, bad no.
Tried to talk him out of a demo unit, no luck..
I remain on the fence..
