Yeah ... the MoCo came out with comination Speedo/Tach with the left half the Speedo and the right half the Tach; but, that little **** is expensive, man--about $400 or $500, depending on where you get it! [P/N 74735-09 or -07 lists for $499.95 retail.] The larger one is for Fat Bob, Custom and Wide Glide ... same price (74676-09 / -08 / -07 ... also available with "Nostalgic" and "Spun Aluminum" face) these appear at pp. 190-191 of the MoCo '09 catalog.

What chrome bracket did you use?
