It's not that bad, i mean for the price I kind of expected that to happen.I wouldn't worry about it, the factory has done this for years beginning with the XLX-61 in '83. This is a cost-lowering procedure, a customer can always buy a tach later if it is important to them. In stock form, the engine has a rev-limiter so you won't overrev it. I would bet money that a Street Tach Kit will be in the HD Accessories catalog very soon!
oh really? heh thanks for the response. new to the harley scene had no clue this was standard opsI wouldn't worry about it, the factory has done this for years beginning with the XLX-61 in '83.

that is true, just have to get a feel for it over time, still rather have the tach.some people ride for efficiency and use numerical shift points that cant be determined with just your ears![]()
Yes, and they will sell you a new top clamp to fit the form of the new two guage cluster.I wouldn't worry about it, I would bet money that a Street Tach Kit will be in the HD Accessories catalog very soon!
On the contrary, I love an old airhead!You bought an old airhead, they saw you coming a mile away. Value? What's that?![]()
Nope.I think you will find there will be a digital tach/odometer/trip meter in the LCD section at the bottom of the gauge.

no.Harley riders who ride for efficiency? erhmmm

One of the reasons I bought a Sportster instead of a Victory was fuel mileage. With gas pushing $4 a gallon here in NY, efficiency is getting more important (especially when compared to the 12 mpg with my Studebaker truck). I don't personally short shift for mileage reasons, but I don't wind it out to redline either. No tach on my bike, but it doesn't bother me.Harley riders who ride for efficiency? erhmmm
