Howdy- Do any of you HD owners or Techs have knowledge or experience installing a HD Tach option on a 04 or 05 Dyna Super Glide?
I am thinking about buying the part and self installing instead of paying over 100.00 for the dealers services. Thanks.

 

I installed a tach on a deuce,

The wiring is the same just the mount is different. The job went really well. If you are mechanicly inclined it should be no problem. The worst part was lifting the tank up to run the wires. You never cut and splice wires on the install. all wires go into the speedometer or into a wire connector. On hint i can give you is on one connection in a wiring connector you have to instal a pin in the connector. In order to do that you have to remove a small plastic pin that holds all the pins in the connector to put the wire in. the instructions dont tell you that, i just had to figure that one on my own. The tach even comes with its own fuse that you instal in in the fuse panel. You instal a fuse pin in the fuse panel to accept the fuse. If you decide to do it on your own and run into a problem e-mail me and i may be able to help.

Here is a pic of my tach.




Hope this helps,

David

 

Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how the install goes in a few weeks when I receive the parts.

 

Ahh, who needs a tach anyway. Those of us who aren't mechanically inclined don't need to worry about it. [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Just another dang chrome gizmo to go bad! Besides, on the new bikes the electronics keeps you from over-revving. Now on some certain ol' farts in here with Ironheads, a tach might be useful!

 

The coil does not have a negative,how do I connect my speedhut after market tach. Where does the HD tach signal come from?
