Under the console is the harness to plug in a TACH, I have heard there is a lot of confusion and mystery surrounding adding a tach. I need someone who has the ability (not an insult some don't care to look under things) to remove the console and have a look at that plug in off the harness located under the console. Any Takers? The wiring harness that the tach plugs into i supposed to have a "Blocking Plug" on it this is supposed to be a two piece affair, the end unclips and then you plug in the tach after removing this end. Can someone confirm it? Schematics show it as a two piece but have had some tell me it is not. I don't have access to a 2016 to check. Eddy E-mail me at eddy@fasteddysports.com May get a treat for the help. Eddy Last edited by Fasteddy; 07/25/2017 2:17 PM.

On one of the pig tails,I believe it was the bike side,is a black plug about 1 1/2 inches long. Remove this and it will plug right in. Mark College Station 13 America

But the reason for the post and I thank you for responding, Triumph lists a different part number for the wiring harness mid 2016. May just be as simple as a different provider and likely there is not change between the years but I am looking for a confirmation. Triumph is TERRIBLE in sending instructions that address the installation of the item correctly. Eddy [color:"blue"] www.fasteddysports.com [/color]
