New speedo in the 2011 Catalogue - Item 74777-11
Item specifically states 2011 Softail. Mentions Km reading updated at plugin from the ECM in the text as below.
Is there some change in the bikes software which would not allow mods for such a speedo to fit to a 2010 model.
I particularly like the idea of speedo/tacho combination, both with arms upright and moving to the right.
Anyone has some insight into this change that makes this particular speedo not suitable for 2010 model? (Other than it states 2011 models)

I am with you mate! I wanted a speedo that had a tacho that would go in a clockwise direction and not make the speed needle that small that it was hard to tell what speed you were doing. The only choice I had for my 2010 Fatty was the Digital/Analogue combo. At first I thought I might not like it, but after putting 300ks on it I now find it fantastic to glance down and see you that I am doing 115 or 120!! The tacho is tops too. My problem - it condenses up so bad that the water starts running down the glass leaving a nasty stain. It is going back.

If these can fit... I might consider one of these instead - although the price on the digi one is very attractive!!
EDIT - Just saw the price on the one you posted - WOW!! I am keen to know if they fit too.
That's a bit of a let down by HD, have a good look'n speedo and not being compatable with pre 2011 models. I have the brushed finish speedo tacho and its one of the best additions I have done to my scoot. Looks great and good to know what rpm your sitting on. 74752-08 Combination Speedometer/Tachometer - Spun Aluminum Face
Just found out lads that these speedos are now compatible with 2010 models and they even supply a cable to suck your Kms into the new speedo!! Trouble is - I can get it delivered here for about $300. Local dealer wants $460. And they wonder why we go OS. " border="0" src="/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif" />
