Haven’t had time to go on a long run with it so I haven’t hit the end of the 31.1 mile try and buy period.
It’s supposed to be in the upper 60s today so perhaps I can sneak out of work early and go for a ride.
As for the “6”; that’s to indicate you’re in 6th gear however what’s picture on the Harley site is what appears to be the older model which is what’s on my Heritage.
The model I got for my Freewheeler which is for the newer Road King does not have that “6”.
Here’s a picture of the older model that’s on my 2009 Heritage:
Here’s a picture of the newer model that’s on my 2016 Freewheeler:
Instead of the “6” the newer model has warning lights for “low tire pressure”, “vehicle hold control” and “traction control.
They both have the “ABS” indicator even though a slightly different icon.
Left- older model—- Right- newer model
If you have the “Reflex Defensive Rider System (RDRS)” that I believe includes “ABS” it appears that the Speedo/Tach requires programming to the ECM using the Dealer tool “Digital Technician II” likely so it can communicate the status of the RDRS and ABS systems for the indicator lights.
This is what’s listed in the installation instructions:
“Digital Technician II is required for vehicles with RDRS and ABS installation.”
This might prevent those with a newer Freewheeler that has the RDRS and/or ABS systems from adding this Speedo/Tach as the Dealer tool might see the the ECM is on a Freewheeler and not allow the ECM to get updated since this Speedo/Tach is not designed for the Freewheeler.
I would think a quick call to the Dealer would get an answer as to whether or not the ECM could be updated or not.
I bet even if the ECM can’t be updated the unit would still work however you might not get the “traction control”, “vehicle hold”, or “ABS” lights.
As for me however if something is related to braking, I wouldn’t roll the dice on it as an error in the system could be catastrophic.
Today’s vehicles are so computer controlled if any programming is required often times everything has to match up or the computer will not allow for anything to update and then nothing works right.
