Default Your Thoughts on HD Speedo/Tach Combo
Thinking of getting this as a Christmas gift for myself.

I am concerned about the size of the tach. Is it readable while riding?

Anyone that owns one please give me your thoughts on it.

I have it and love it... Great display! It's now standard issue on the CVO Road King. You won't be dissapoined... Get yourself the flush mount gas caps to go with it!

I already have the chrome flush mount caps.

They have the blue lights for the fuel level, and my Sony radio has a blue display. One reason for the speedo/tach upgrade is to match the blue lights in the radio and fuel level indicator.

Have one on my 2011 road king classic, very nice and many color options for speedo, tack and background make it easy to read.

Don't spend anymore time thinking about it.... Just get it! Yes, I have blue displays as well. Looks very sharp. The toughest decision was whether to make the needles white or red (I went with white). All around, I'm very happy with the set up....

Thumbs up Very easy to read.
This was the first thing I bought for my new 2013 FLHRC. And the second thing I changed, the heel shifter went first. I like it a lot and glad I have it. Easy install, no issues there. Love having the gear indicator and I can read the tach without my glasses.
