My problem was the backlight. I'm 5'10" and have no trouble seeing over the windshield. The glare on the windshield at night from the backlight was really distracting to me. It looked to me as if there was about a 4 to 6 inch orange/red band across the windshield. It was bad enough that I pulled the tach/speedo and went back to the stock speedometer.
I also have the glare problem but I think the Kuryakyn bezel will solve it. Will know next week.
As far as the digital readout goes, it works fine for me. I glance down and see my speed instantly. It's also 100% accurate according to my GPS.
Easier to install than an power commander or new heavy breather?
Is that Mt. Fuji pictured behind your bike?
It's a cinch to install. You just remove your seat, remove the two screws that fasten the console to the fuel tank, unclip and remove the old speedo, then clip in the new one and fasten the console back on. A 10 minute job at most.
How do you transfer the bike's odometer reading to the new speedo/tach?? In other words, if I have 2,543 miles on my bike, how do I get that 2,543 on the new odometer??

Thank You
With the older speedo/tach you would state your existing mileage when you order the speedo/tach. MOCO would then program that stated mileage into your new speedo/tach and ship it to your ordering dealer. So when you install it you're set to go. That's what I had to do when I bought mine. I would assume it's the same procedure with the digital version as well.
That's correct. When you order the new speedometer you report your mileage and the new speedo is set to that figure. Not knowing how long it would take to get mine I had the new one set a bit higher than my actual mileage and waited till I racked up those miles to install it.
