Thats the reason I got mine.. After being smoked by a couple of friends and their baggers, i invested into a bunch of motor work and i needed a tach! The speedo/tach that MoCo had was obsolete for my 04 Fatboy, and i didnt want to hang anything else on my bars to mess the lines, so I went with the Dakota Digital... Now dont get me wrong... It is very bitchin! It measures 1/4 mile times, 0-60 times, clock, speed and the tach i wanted... But i lost the "nostalgia" flow of my bike.. And i do miss that.. If you like digital numbers, i definitely recommend one!

$400.00 ??????????? To much

 

The reason that I didn't buy one of these is that it requires a dash pod to install. I just didn't want something sticking up above the factory console.

BTW, I don't know why everyone is bitching about the price. At $400, it's still cheaper than installing a Harley speedo/tach combination.

 

+1 added to the list.

 

yep, i dont get why the newer model Harely's are cheaper to install a tach/speedo ($249?) compared to pre-'08 models are $499! WTF?
stock is fine for me for awhile.
unless someone wants to sell me one that they are changing out. i wouldnt mind a Dakota Digital. been looking at those anyway.

 

im still trying to get used to haveing the speedo on a needle with my stock guages. Im used to sport bikes all mine had digital speed and needle for the tach. I much preffer it that way i dont like having a digital tach and a needle speedo. Just my opinion.

 

I like the H-D one with the tach better.

 

thats sweet, wont work on mine. the one i been looking at sits on the bars. i have a 'nonstock' tank. the filler is in the center flushe mounted. i been looking at the dakota that sits on the bars. kind of oval ish shaped. thats where my current speedo is. i really miss having a tach, but just cant bring myself to hang one on the bars

 

I need to understand the Dash Pod thing. I figured the street price would be closer to $300.

I currently have a Riser mounted Tach and I'm taking off as part of my Winter projects. I like having the Tach but not sticking up between the Apes.

I also wanted to stay with a needle type speedo.


I'd be more concerned about the product reliability. I was hoping someone had already bought one... I hate being the test dummy..



UPDATE: Went back to the instructions. I see that it doesn't mount flush in the Console. That's a deal breaker for me...

I was really liking it...

<insert argument about $400 here>

hmm i like my HD Digital Speedo/Analog Tach combo.. simple and looks good.. if only I could change the LED color on it.. i'd rather it be blue than orange. but oh well.
