microTach for 04+ sportsters!

[jgaither]

Guys and Gals,

I like many of you have been wanting a tach on my 04 XL1200C. After a couple prototypes, I am almost ready for production on the microTach.

It is a small 1.5"x0.75" 2 digit Tach which utilizes the Serial Data bus of the newer sporty's.

I am managing to keep the price down compared to other alternatives at only $149. I am working out the details right now on molding it into a rubberized sealed unit. Once I have that; I can start shipping.

I was hoping to get some no-payment preorders to help me gauge initial demand and schedule builds with a little less risk. I'm using my own $$ to start this up.

Please visit www.speedwayinstrument.com and check it out. And as always, I appreciate any comments and feedback.

Thanks,

Justin

OK, that looks really interesting. Might have to put money aside for one.

I already have the harley mini tach so I will not be buying one. I am just bumping up the thread for you. However, to be honest, if you offered that when I was looking for a tach I would have bought it. It is compact, effective, and is a huge weight saver over the Harley Tach. Great Job.

Where do you plan on people installing it on their bikes to make it visible?

Got my attention!

I'm interested... make sure you have good installation instructions!

i have a 2003 xlh 1200 that has a tach and speedo already. but is there any chance you can develop a micro tach and speedo to replace my existing speedo and tach? Maybe you can use the existing wireing hookups and just plug in to your new micro stuff? I would be interested in that...it sure would clean up the look of the bike arround the handlebar area.

Thanks and have a good one...Tom

Just a suggestion, I would create a gold sample and ask someone from the forum to install it, use it, and then write up a review. I've never seen anything like your tach and would like to see how it performs in the real world of installing/riding. It would also save you money in the long run -- a couple bad "first impressions" because of some, small overlooked QC could ruin future sales. Allowing some of the people here to help test it out in the world will go a long way to quell doubts about being "early adapters."

I really like your tach as an idea though. Looks good.

Nice idea, and a reasonable price. Especially if the purchaser can read & understand your supplied installation instructions.
The only thing that popped out at me was if the brightness can be changed for day vs. night.
Hate to have a really bright set of numbers flipping up & down while trying to concentrate on night riding...

I like it. I want to get a tach but don't like the cost associated from HD. How easy would this be to install?

And of course, as suggested earlier I would be willing to be your tester.

Good work.
