YEP. 2004 was the 1st year of the Crankshaft Position Sensor and rubber mount. On the downside, no transmission Trap Door. Got a tranny issue? SPLIT THE CASES to get it out : (

I am installing a tach to my 2008 sportster, hoping that it is happy with the ignition system. Looks like three wires: one positive, one negative and the pink one is for the 'trigger'. Mercy! Hafta try it out before I 'wire it up and fire it up!'.

The serial data the ECM sends to the speedo contains engine speed. A tacho designed for the 2008 Sportster will read that and display revs. HD #70900274 is the combination analogue tacho with digital everything else.

Some of the Sportsters came with dual dials with a separate tacho. Part number #67049-04B
