Tach.Install instuctions.

[deneen ryan]

Cards on the bar, order up. I just bought a used FL softail tach. kit
of ebay.
With the money I saved, order the good stuff. My question is, Does
anybody
have the installation instructions from their install and if so, could
they send me
the wiring information. The bike is a 2001 FLSTF, but I'm guessing the
wiring
is all the same. If their was supposed to be a clip to just snap into
the harness,
it not their, looks like time to solder. It was about half price, so I
guess some
time and inconvenience is OK. Thanks in advance, Joe. Ride safe.

Go and ask your deeler. Mine printed me off a copy of the instructions
free of charge. I think it is on their computer network. It just took a
minute.

Joe,

I ain't gonna be home for four or five days, or I'd offer to try
and scan mine and email em to you... that is if I could find them.
Here's the message I posted to someone else a while back. Use
googlegroups to search the archives and you can find the whole thread.
If you have a service manual, this should do ya just fine.

'02 FLSTC

I just put a tach on this weekend on my '02 Heritage Classic. I don't
have the service manual here with me now, but I was thinking that the
wiring harnasses were the same for mine and the Deuce. Could be wrong.

At any rate, I made all my connections at the speedo harnass, 39B. The
power came from the orange/white wire in position one, and the ground
from the black wire in position ten. For the tach signal, there was an
unconnected pink wire with some sort of quick disconnect terminal on
it that was taped to the wiring harnass.

Whatever you do, don't be a dumbass like me and splice the tach's red
power wire into an exising red wire. That mistake of color
coordination had me pretty pissed off the first time I fired it up and
the tach and speedo didn't work. Quick look at the service manual had
me swiftly kicking myself in the ass and tearing the dash off a second
time:)

Seems to be working good so far, and as I suspected already, I need to
crank down my idle speed. Tach says 1250 when the she's good and warm.
That's about how fast I had figured it was idling.
