Im new here so Ill have lots of questions for ya. Since the 883 doesnt come with a tach, what is the redline? Id rather do something other than the HD side-by-side tach/speedo, does anyone have other options? Lets see 'em.

Thanks again.

Hey Welcome!
Not sure about the 04s and up (or what year you have) but the pre-04 883s have a 6000rpm revlimiter setting.

I don't like the side by side look myself either...ever thought of just the tach?

Well, you could do what I did, build a set-up yourself.

Do any of you guys have the H-D tach kit with the duall gauge mount? I have it but have some questions about instalation.

I have one installed on my '91. I put it on many years ago but I might be able to help.

Kursed,

If your 883 is still an 883, the redline is where the motor starts stuttering (rev limiter) right after it falls flat on its face...

I just noticed my tach has a little yellow lite on its face that lights up as you approach redline...

Who knew? lol

Thanks guys for all the great input and ideas. I do like the idea of a tach only, maybe a AutoMeter or similuar to replace the speedo. Id like to see that 5' monster tach, any photos?
