Well, that sucks. Seemed like a good way to get those holes filled nicely and get a tach at the same time. Thanks although I didn't understand a thing you said after "The harley tach won't work".

I'll look for one after I get my inner fairing. I'll have to measure the hole then look for one that looks right.

yes this all true. When "strobe"did mine {his at the time} he had that same issue I think. He found a dual fire and it was all good. No biggie really. It sure is nice riding by a tach again, I rarely look at the speed'o The GPS for KMH/MPH and the tach.

I'll just get covers to fill in the holes this summer and look for a tach to install next winter. Wiring for the tach is just power/ground/coil, right? Might as well add the wiring to the mix now while I'm at it.
So other than the tach issue, what my list complete? Or am I missing things? (I have a stereo.)

Yup. That's why I posted the list. I know there are some on here who have installed the HD batwing so I'm hoping they look at the list and chime in. If I miss something, so be it. One of the reasons I decided to go batwing was for the relative simplicity and the fact that it's an already proven deal.

 Actually, I believe he sold his Nomad headlight parts to fund his fixed fairing project and a Harley Batwing has a built-in headlight assembly, where a Reckless just sits above the stock headlight assembly.

Yup. I like the look of the HD fairing better especially since I'll be adding gauges. Besides, aftermarket parts are MUCH more readily available for the HD.

I think my Nomad is allergic to Harley Davidson parts.
