I just Ordered a Micro-Tach From our supporting member Speedway Instruments !!

Ordering Process Was Very Efficient, And Fast. A Great Website !!!

A Real Pleasure without a Bunch of hoops to jump through !!!

Just Pic what ya want and Go !!

If Justin runs his buisness like he runs his Website he will have no Problems !!!


I'll Post pics of the Install When I get it on !!!!


Thanks SPEEDWAY INSTRUMENTS !!

And thanks for supporting the Forum as well !!!!

Guess what was in the mailbox today ??

I likely wont get to install it until tomorrow evening though.

Justin followed up with me the very next morning after I placed the order to
be sure he had everything correct, Very Thoughtful !!

I hope to install it tomorrow evening, I'll get pics, Even though the installation is extremely simple !!

Thanks Justin !!!

Well I managed to steal some time and install the Tach. (took all of about 30 minutes!)
I had planned on doing a small writeup on the install, But Honestly I can not add anything more to the Excellent Instructions that Justin provides HERE (http://www.speedwayinstrument.com/uploads/microTach_instructions_j1850.pdf)

I first looked at my electrical system manual and confirmed the wire colors were the same for my 06 Custom, And they are !
I done this without removing anything except the Riser cover, And I have the big tank !)



The Suitcase connectors are not my favorite, And I may re-do the connections by soldering them. The Piggback type connector works by Forcing the wire into a V shaped terminal, Thereby cutting through the insulation and making contact with the wire. Which Works Fine !
But I am a little concerned about after many miles of shaking and vibration that the wire could stress and break right at that point where it is being pinched.
Its Likely I am just Being Paranoid !!

If you use the piggyback (Suitcase) Connectors, Pick up a couple extra ones, Just in case you mess one up. Make sure there the same size !

The Tach looks Great and was super easy to install, Like I said just follow Justins instructions and it's a breeze...

I was suprised by how easy it is to read, And it is very Stable, Even through revving the engine, It tracks the RPM perfectly and Does Not Jump Around at all...

This Tach will serve my purposes perfectly ....

If you are thinking about one of these, I say Go For It !!!!

What would be Super cool is if you could program it to flash above a certain RPM...Built in shift light :shhhh


Thanks Justin........

EDIT: If I can find the dang camera I'll get a pic !!
