Latest Upgrades / Speedometer & Tachometer
After several months of intermittent codes being set (U1064, U1097, U1255, U1300, U1301), turns out it was the speedometer.
I liked the looks of the CVO Screamin Eagle gauges, so I ordered those from Zanotti's. I had to wait a month because they have to send the speedometer to Harley Davidson to program in my mileage.
Although Harley Davidson states that these gauges work with the Low Rider, the tachometer doesn't fit because it is to tall. It has about a half inch wall of material on the bottom of the housing that I was able to trim off. I put the gauge face down on a towel and used a phone book turned to the right page to set the height of my Dremel, then just rotated the gauge to trim, also had to trim off some material on the mounting bracket that's inside the console. The speedometer has a couple of nice additions, a clock and also a sixth gear light that is triggered by the relation of RPM and speed.
Also got front and rear axle covers, chrome caliper inserts, and chrome control switches. The chrome control switches add a nice contrast. The caliper inserts are a little smaller then where they fit into and they use double sticky foam tape, I rolled a couple pieces of tape and stuck them to my fingers and the insert, then I was able to apply it once I got it centered.
