Tri Glide Gauge Faces
Has anyone tried a different set of gauge faces on their trike? It may be me, but I was wanting something easier to read at a glance besides the OE black ones. Looking on the net, I found several different companies that offer them. Harley Gauges, in CA., wants the gauges sent to them for them to install.
It could just be my old tired eyes. I changed the black faces to white on my Jeep Wrangler. It sure did help.
My SM tried a set of white face on my 16 thinking they would work. They did not ,so got back to black..Originally Posted by Philip R

Any chance of a pic of your gauges? ThanksHave the WHITE on mine and prefer them over the stock BLACK......Kinda “each to
his own type o thing, IMO.....
I went with Dakota Digital. I like them a lot better then stock.
I've been looking for a set of used Street Glide gauges ... but not much for a 14 in the used category ... so far. I have put the street glide gauges on a couple Ultra's ... the trick is to get one set that has close to the same mileage. LOL.
Found these ... pricy, but, too many miles https://www.ebay.com/itm/20092018-HA...0AAOSwU7BcwimE
Thought these type gauges could be reset or reprogrammed to mileage data from the ecm?

Maybe ... but at least prior to 14, you had to send them to Harley, You maybe right ... I just don't know.
Wasn't speaking out with any certainty on that. .Was more a question. Just sort of recall hearing or reading that somewhere....but you know how that goes

I'm getting a new speedometer assembly installed on my FW in a few days, under warranty & the dealer programs the new unit with your current milage. It's an easy job for them.
2017 Harley Davidson Freewheeler (107 cu.in. vivid black).
From what I have been told is the ECM holds the speedo info, but it takes the HD digital tech scan tool to pull the info and transfer it
That pretty much takes the after market out of the loop as far as transferring this data
I know of 1 person that changed his speedo/ tach combo with a HD unit from E Bay, the only down side was when his 96 inch engine blew up the dealer would not cover the warranty because the mileage log in the ECM did not match the speedo

So HD won't reprogram an eBay purchased HD speedo for your data????
I dunno, I know this guy never paid the dealer to have it done
I do know once his engine got rebuilt he sold the bike
I was suspect of the speedo he got from E Bay, it lokked like a cheap HD clone.
One other thing I remember about that speedo is it stayed back lit all the time, even with the bike shut off

Interesting ... wonder if that had anything to do with the engine fail??? Probably not.
When & if I decide, I'll send in original gauges. They will change out the faces & send originals back.
Nope, alot of the 96 Twin Cams had way too much crank run out
Bad Ju Ju
My 07 Streetbob blew up also The HD factory rep said he had never seen that much run outMine still ran tho the cam support plate and oil pump were cracked
The inside of the barrels looked like they had been sand blasted

Data Transfer
Hi There - any trouble with Dakota Digital transferring the mileage data - reading there instructions it looks straight forward, within the first 100 miles.

Dealer changed all gauges under warranty ,for those little streaks. Thats when he tried to go to the white face for me. Problem was, the "R" would not light up when in reverse. They tried everything & finally had to go with the stock black again. They come in a complete set even if only one gauge needs replaced.Thanks Guys!

Interesting ... never thought about the reverse ... never done it on a trike ... just two wheelers. Kind of like the lighted controls ... HD did get wise and added the cover with the R, maybe they will start to offer white faced gages ...
Do you have a source for this? ... sounds like an interesting winter project ... any idea of turn around times?
