In this video I show to remove, transfer odometer data, and install a new speedometer/tach on a 2009 Harley Davidson Softail Custom. The part number for the new speedometer/tach is 70900070A, and the cost is $314.00.
Thanks for watching!

Dude thank you! My grandpa went to Heaven last week and didn't finish the installation. Now, thanks to your video. I can get his 08 back up and running.
Thank you for the great video , installed this weekend , a couple of things I’d like to add for ease of install:
1. Line up the Speedo dead center so your not fighting the black retainer clip , it’s near impossible to spin the speedo once it’s set so put in straight from the get go.
2. Make sure the run switch is on before you transfer the data or you get a No Cal reading.
3. Remove the odometer reset switch from the boot or you might break it like I did.
4. When inserting the electrical connector into the new speedo it only works when the correct side is inserted , before you put the console back together check to make sure you didn’t reverse it by turning it on , it WILL snap in both ways.
If your speedo doesn’t turn on just reverse the electrical harness connection.
Again many thanks for your video , excellent job
You are the best! Just installed my new tach on my Fat 2013 following your instructions.
Something I can say about my installation:
- to turn off the battery, you should do it BEFORE the alarm turns on, otherwise will alarm; turn the key off, and immediately take off the fuse, avoiding the alarm to turn on;
- my rubber ring around the tach was too tight; I used some lubricant and entered very smoothly;
- the connector attached to the tach can go either right or wrong way; be careful you keep track of the right position;
Thanks guys!
Thanks
I’m so glad I found this video, as I’m about to fit this speedo to my 2009 softail. You beautifully present all the information needed to do the job in a clear step by step easy to follow process…It’s a big thank you from me ✅👍😊
I was changing mine on my 2006 Deluxe and I couldn't see how the three tabs were going to pry back. The BLACK piece bends! Thanks a MILLION! Liked.
Thank you! I was only looking for speedo removal for my Fatboy when I came across your video. I ended up buying this model speedo/tach. Excellent instructions - took less than an hour.
My husband was self installing his speedometer and after endless amounts of research and reading on how to do it, we kept getting no cal and couldn’t figure out why because we were following the instructions to a t from the manual. We watched your video and got it within seconds. Tysm!!! Saved us from going to the dealer to just pay out money and not get a resolution of what we were doing wrong!
Great video! I'm no mechanic, so it's great to see every detail of the process.
I really appreciated you putting this video together. I was not impressed with the instructions that came with the Speedo/Tach. By watching this video I replaced my original Speedo with the 70900070A in less than 30 minutes. It was clockwork that could have not been done without this DIY instructional video. Thanks
Good to hear. Thanks for watching!
Just installed one on my '07 Softail Custom yesterday. Great video! Used it all the thru the install. I love having a tach now.
Awesome, actually just ordered the same speedometer/tach for my ‘05 Softail, the original has some kind of short. Thanks for the video and will watch the other one on how to set it up. Appreciate your help, ride safe all🤘
A great step by step presentation my friend ! I now have the confidence to take on this task for my 2009 softail.
+Michael Patrick Good to hear and thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial. I'm installing one today and you gave me the confidence to get it done without worrying. I watched your other videos and those were great as well. Thank you for sharing. Very helpful!
Exceptional video and info. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I installed the Combination Analog Speedometer/Tachometer 70900070A on my 09 Road King tonight and this video made it a 10 minute job. Note that on the RK the Data cable and master fuse are both behind the left side cover. Data connector is gray and down low. It is NOT yup top behind the tank... Same size, different color and function. Just FYI.
Thanks
Thank you very much. You save a lot of trouble for me
about colour on connector. I try behind the tank several times and its not work. Thanks!
Just got the same speedo for my 2004 Road King and you have a great video. I am going to install mine tomorrow thanks to you.
Thank you so much ! your video is bang on ! i was concerned at first because i had a "no Cal" reading but realized the bike has to be in RUN mode ! Very thorough and precise instuctions. Thanks again !
Thanks for watching!
I installed this speedometer on my 08 Fat Bob before i saw this video. Could of saved myself some time had i seen this first. Nice video
Gr8 video! It's a pleasure to watch you do what you do. Very thorough, careful, perfect pace ... just terrific. Thanks!
Great informative video. Just about to replace the speedo on my 2009 Road King. I’m in North Queensland Australia👍😎
This was great, thanks. Just got my new speedo and was not sure how to remove the old one from my 2008 Softail. I'm totally confident now!
Your video was simply “awesome”. The best of the bunch. Thanks for sharing. Now I can venture the installation on my 11 RKC. Thanks again.
Very informative and straightforward. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks
Awesome man thanks so much. I saved cash and time doing this myself after watching this video.
Glad it helped
I am installing this on my Nightrain 2007 this weekend, this video is a life saver, and your vid on setting up the options is awesome too... Thanks so much for this info!
That looked easy enough. I had the dealership install the speedo/tach when I purchased my 12 RoadKing. I need to look at the labor cost. Should have saved a few bucks and installed it myself.
Great video.. it worked for me..
Q, what to do with the gas cap with fuel gauge , how do I remove it and what to do with the inner sensors and wiring.
I now want to add flash mount pop up gas.
Thanks cap
As always first class tutorial, slow and steady, excellent stuff.
Thanks!
Very well done, kept me from doing major errors from the standard directions.
Your video was so good I didn’t read the directions
Thank you so much. After much mis-information from my local mechanic (who is a great wrench) and also from the local dealer, this video shows me I can easily do this myself. '04 Heritage. Too bad the gear indicator will not work on older models.
+Truly Anonymous Thanks for watching!
+smallengineshop Hello man, I was looking your video and I'm needing an part for my bike it's a Deluxe Softail year 2013. My Dash Panel sensor aren't working on dash panel. I need buy a part for my sensor return to work. What is name this part and what's part number for my bike? Thank you!
Awesome Video!!! Just received this for Christmas... Cannot wait to install...
Great video !!! Ordered Part # 74775-11B Canada Km version for Fat Boy 17 .I was told don’t need data transfer step it automatically picks in newer models.
Awsome video. You are a great teacher! You make it seem so simple.
i have one on my 06 Fatboy and all the functions work great!
Awesome video! Thanks man. Now I need this gauge for my switchback
My 'Ole Lady's' comment to me about the video: "The instructions are idiot-proof; you should be able to handle it, Dude!" Thanks.
Thanks for posting this video. It helped make thing go rather quickly when I installed my new speepo/tach on my 2013 heritage.
One question, is there a way to turn off the ABS light on the gauge?
got it figured out - just disconnected the battery for a minute and everything works again. Still not sure why , but hey it works!!
Very good video. Great instructional presentation. Thank you. Looking forward to a follow up video.
Absolutely cool !
I will change my new tach myself !
Thanks so much for your help !
Steff.
Great detailed video! Will this also work the same if I want to swap a MPH speedo to KPH speedo? And will the mileage then show as KPH?
best and most helpful video i have ever seen. thank you very much
Looks simple and I will do mine this afternoon. However, I plan to remove the tachometer from the handlebars which is the reason I bought this speedometer in the first place. What do I do with the wires that run to that gauge?
Very well done and easy to understand. I wish you could help me with my ft blinkers and tail light (of which I have none!) and can not locate the connectors!
Thanks for this Video. you answered ever Question I had. Thanks Again
Good “how to” video👏🏼
Very helpful video mate well explained 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Many thanks, planning to buy on of these very soon....Thanks for sharing :)
Hey I just bought this tach and installed it with my friend by watching ur video step by step excellent info thank you for posting ps on my 2007 soft ail the maxi fuse is in a different place took a minute to figure lol almost had the battery disconnected by the time I found it lol
Good to hear! Thanks for watching!
Do I have to pin the 3 fuel gauge wires to the speedometer plug to get that to work? Right now it’s in the cap.
I changed speedometer back to original and showed the buyer the.actual mileage and also documented this as well and even had it notarized.
My question for you is how do I erase the data on the speedometer so that I can download the new bike info.
@smallengineshop did you make the video showing how to set the colors on the Harley analog speedometer/tachometer?
I have been searching, trying to find the color codes. You mentioned in the video that you would post the complete list of the color codes in the comments below the video.
I have not been able to find it. Can you help a guy out? I would like to fine-tune my color choices.
Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend.
great video George, I gather with this speedo/tach, ther no other mods to setting up the tack, rgds mike
Thanks for the info. One addition - I installed one in my 2010 Softail Custom. Note that my data would not transfer until my switch was in the ignition position AND the "Run" button on the handlebar was on.
Thanks for commenting and watching!
What brand and model of this speedometer is this? Looks pretty cool.
Great video, you showed me how to install it. Thanks
Any extra steps to initiate tach info? The original does not have the tach so does the new one automatically get the info from same cable?
Is the bulb behind the speedo backplate? I wanted to add a led bulb for a brighter look.
Great vid! I have a 09 Softail - do you have a video showing tank removal ? I’m getting paint soon, thanks
I know it has been a while since someone has commented on this video but I thought that I would ask...in order for the new gas gauge to work, does the old one have to remain plugged in or can you disconnect the old one on the dummy side of the tank and put something else there in it's place?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Can we get a video on the 1) digital oil pressure gauge and 2) Kuryakin fuel / voltage replacement install for the 2009 FXSTC?
nice job mate well done
you made it look easy
so the data link cable is only used once
pity unless you can sell it on seems expensive part of the kit as well
Thank you Mr Small Engine, this video was very helpful :)
+zzjunk23 zzjunk23 Thanks for watching!
Awesome!!! Will be changing on my '09 Dyna Super Glide. Thanks!!!
Bob Girod Thanks for watching!
Did your LCD lights go in and out in your calibration period?
Did mine just fine with your help. thankx
Nice video.Just picked up a stock replacement speedo for my 2010 Heritage Classic (glass was cracked).Could you pls tell me the P/N of the jumper which allows transfer of orig miles to the new unit? Thanks smallengineshop!
Thanks for the info, mines doing the same thing, driving me crazy! I now know how to fix it. Thanks
Awesome video! Very detailed and exact!! Thank you!!!
I just replaced the glass on my 2010 heritage softail classic.Where can I get the data link jumper to reprogram the speedo?
04 FXSTD Deuce. With Deuce, dash looks like speedo has to be removed "inwards" ? Any additional suggestions for this set up ?What year was the maxi-fuse introduced ? I don't seem to have one.Great video. Thanks
Great job ! Very well done
My gas gauge is not registering on the new tac/speedometer after setup it still shows empty.. Everything else works. I have an 05 night train... Any thoughts?
Can I install a used speedometer into my '09 softail and get the same results- i.e. the mileage from mine to the replacement speedo?
Was wondering if maybe a cam change video for the 96 b would be in the works
I just went to put in this new speedometer on my 07 Heritage but because I had already put in a new upgraded speedometer in 2008 the new speedometer won't sync with the bike. HD says you can only upgrade from the original speedometer, so because the speedometer upgrade I did in 2008 failed (bike said I was doing 10 mph at 3,000 rpm at a stop light) I can't replace it.
so...if you do not transfer the mileage over will it start from 0 miles on your bike? or does it "catch up" the mileage from the computer? also can I move this to another bike? thanks great video...
Excellent video man thanks for posting. Do you know if this will work on a 2005 heritage Softail? Thanks
Hi.Great video
I want to buy this item (70900071A KpM).
I have the current odometer in miles (original speedo in FLHRSI 2005).
When changing to a new speedo will-ECM send the number of miles or kilometers to the new speedo?
I was wondering since the new speedometer has a fuel gauge can you replace the gas cap Hague with just a decrotive cap
Where is a good place to order a speedometer/tach that comes with that cable?
I found a used one for sale but if it marries to the bike then it cannot be reused correct? Also its this exact one and my bike is a 2013. So that alone should be a problem.
Will this work if you buy the same speedo / tach but a used one that already was set up on another bike?
Great video
I was just wondering, can you install a speedo tachometer combo of a 2012 Fatboy to a 2008 heritage standard speedo, I have the wire 2012 harness that goes from speedo to existing wire harness. I would really appreciate any info that you can supply
Once again thank you.
Loza
I ordered this and was very excited to see it arrive today.. when I connected it to the data transfer adapter and it would not work.. flashings red lights and says " No Cal" very disapointed
PS i have a 2010 softai deluex
Brilliant, perfect for me as I have the exact same bike, I like the trick with the wd40 too, thanks for posting :)
Wow Nice Video Thank you !! Do they make a replacement speedometer combo tack for my 2002 Road King ???
THANKS for your help made the job so much easier.. NICE ONE
Thanks!
nice unit- was working fine and did some work on bike and disconnected the battery and when everything was hooked up odometer says V I ER. speedo works but nothing else- took it for a long ride and nothing changed. Any ideas??
What if it doesn’t calibrate and does not give an ok? Suggestion?
Hello Smallengine shop. Great Vid... I have a 2005 FLSTF, you showed the parts box which included models from 04-10-- FLSTF ..... QUESTION: I currently do not have a tach ( stock speedo) and my fuel gauge is separate. Can this part # still be used on my bike so I MAY have RPM , fuel gauge and speedo? Thanks
i have a 2015 street bob i want this speedometer if i do it myself like you, do you think i would void any warranties.
Is there a way to change from kilometers to miles per hour or vice a versa?
Perfect video, thank you for posting.
I would like to know if the speed/tach would work on a 2005 fatboy with an 88b motor. and have you ever put a mini tach on a fatboy 2005.
Great video. Can you tell us how to adjust the colors
If my fuel gauge doesn't light up will it cause the digital gauge not to work either?
How do you fix left blinker light on the concel
I have a 2009 Softail Custom like yours. The Fitment says material is 5 inch diameter. But it's only 4.6 diameter is that the same a yours. Kinda like example a 2 by 4 is not really a 2 by 4.
Weird thing, I have an 05 road king, and speedo shorted out after washing it. I bought this same tach, but the model # ends with B instead of A. Same thing except for there is no KPH on MPH. I followed the install and data link to a T, and when I would ignition I'd get a NO CAL in the LCD, and then that would go away, and it was replaced with NO SPD. It would not transfer the odometer to the new odometer. I'm thinking that if your speedo stopped working, replacing it with this type of Speedo will not work due to the inability to transfer odometer reading of a broken speedo to the new speedometer. I can't find anyone with an answer to this.
I thought this might be an issue, as the old speedo was as if it wasn't there because IT WAS BROKEN (insert Sam Kinison Tirade). Our shop service guy in Folsom checked with the mechanic, and "it's okay, just follow the directions." Engine switch on, Data Link plugged in, no go! I had the old speedo out, and was tapping it and banging it slightly, and I saw LED partially show numbers, they would immediately dim if I stopped squeezing the old gauge. Thinking the ecm possibly sensed the old speedo after doing the Fonz bang and tap on the old speedo, which seemed to allow some juice into it, so I did the transfer procedure again, and something did change this time as it just went to NO CAL, without going to NO SPD.
I'm assuming NO SPD means it isn't sensing a speedo. Well It stopped that, and the NO CAL shows. There is a red light blinking, but then after a bit the red light goes solid and stays on. But still it did not do the conversion. The trouble shooting guide for this particular NO CAL says, normal function, but ads as long as "percentage and ok" show, which they don't. I went ahead and plugged the new speedo into the consul to see if something happened, and the new speedo lit up beautifully, but with NO CAL or something I forget. But no odometer transfer. I'm wondering if I should ride it and go through that 31 mph countdown the document spells out.
I'm going back down to get a speed sensor. Apparantly, it could be that issue if the signal lights don't cancel, for one sign. With the bike just leaning on the stand, it doesn't cancel. Somebody said I had to at least lean it or move the steering for it to cancel, which I haven't done. So, I'll check for cancellation leaning and turning the bike. With all the forums out there only about 4 of these issues are on the net, and none of those who had the problem explained how they solved it. These speedo combo's don't work if your replacing a broken one. They should explain this, as there is no refund for them. They seem to only work if you are upgrading. I need to get the odometer reading back, as I'm selling. Any ideas?
