HELP GAUGE REMOVAL /CUSTOM TACH

[ymtnpoah11_imp]

"Just get aftermarket gauges," said several people to me, "oem are $$$."

I have a broken tach and this thread has been super-helpful! Many thanks. Some of you went the extra miles for sure.

2014 std

Will a 14 dlx assembly work on a std? I'd like green faces if I can swing it.

Curious what is broken on the tach. Is it only the white housing, or the face and needle? Pics would help.

(I'd share pics if I knew how here) It's the entire tach, obliterated into pieces in a wreck.

OK, looking at the ‘14 std diagram. Yes, it has the serial data line. That started in ‘14

BUT, it shows the wheel sensor going directly into the meter on the VSP+ and VSP- lines. That is 2 lines, not one like the ABS model Deluxe. So I apparently a different meter for ABS and non-ABS models.

One reason is that the ABS version will have the indicator on the dash. Certainly don't want an ABS indicator on a non-ABS bike either.

SOLID point! Thank you!

And the irony - if I'd had ABS to begin with, the tach might not be wrecked at all!
