Hi all
Got (one of) my winter project laid out:
To install a 2005-up speedo on my '91 tourer.
History: AFAIK, the electronic speedo came about with the FLHR in '94. This means that my ol' sled has a front wheel mechanical pick-up, which I want to get rid of. One of the reasons is that I want to install my new, 3/8" spoke tubeless front wheel for 2000-up application with sealed bearings that do not accommodate speedo drive. I also want to get rid of the speedo cable - it is getting chaffed and frayed and I don't want it there...
So, to do this, two main things needs sorting:
1. Machine my trans to fit the electronic pick-up sensor.
2. Wire in the speedo into my old system
I see the machining as a slightly tense, but relatively straight-forward task, as long as I pay attention to the location, and remove all cuttings carefully.
The wiring should be doable as well - I re-made most of the wiring when converting my FLTC to FLHR. What I am missing is the input side for the speedo - basically colour & input function/location for the 74196-04 sealed socket that fits in the speedo terminal.
I will not need to connect all, as I do not have the fancy fault-codes etc. (good ol' carb on mine).
If anyone could help me with the speedo/dash area part of a wiring diagram for a 2005-up Tourer or Softail, it would be of great help.
Now I am aware that this great forum has a download section, however it requires 150 posts to allow access. Not sure if this applies should I become a PM? Anyway, this is my 12th post or so, and I would have to bore you with a lot of empty talk to fill up my quota.
