The main reason I purchased the aftermarket fairing I did was it had a 2" gauge hole above the stereo with I installed a tachometer in.

I know all my speeds by rpm now and very seldom look at the main gauge on the tank other than a quick glance for fuel range and warning lights.

The Dakota Digital is pretty cool I had looked at it before, but at $499.00 its $260.00 more than the Harley speedo from Lake Shore.

I just five minutes ago ordered the HD 70900070 speedo/tach combo from LSHD1 for $239.96. I added a little to the order to get the free shipping for orders over $250.00.

With no tax (9% here) and free shipping I saved $98.57 on a $339.90 retail priced order. Stretching those Christmas dollars. Merry Christmas to me. LOL.

Thanks again for all the info on the speedo/tach combo, I think I will like it.

I'm sure that you will. But if you don't, you only have 31.1 miles to take it off. After that it will be locked to your ECM.

speedo tach

I have one on my 12 Road King, The small tach is a bit challenging to read at first but I learned to glance quickly at it when I need to figure out if I am about to lug the engine. After 2000 miles I have learned to shift by the sound.. Nice instrument I recommend it !

I got this on ebay. I'm sure this style guage will work on your bike also. My bike is a 03 rkc. I can't remember the part number but you can get it through harley and have the odometer set for mileage on your bike.
