to upgrade the standard speedo. You have the Harley analogue speedo tacho with wait for it, 600 colour options or you have the Dakota.

Dakota state this unit is a straight plug and play unit, same as the Harley upgrade.If anyone has installed one it would be nice to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

There is one and only one youtube clip that goes into the install of the unit and it states that it super easy and plug and play. I can assure you that it was just that, it truly is as simple as plug and play. Removal of the old gauge is easy,you dont even have to disconnect the battery( I had the FOB nearby). I put the bike up on a fat max style centre stand (or you could just leave it on the side stand), and undid the main centre console nut. Then you Lift the centre console up and unplug the connections underneath .I didnt know how to remove the reset button and when I found out I just needed to remove the rubber boot and unscrew it, it was off in a jiffy. I took the gauge console to a table with a towel on it. The old gauge unclipped with the aid off a small flat head screwdriver and simply lifted out. The new gauge installation was simple in that you ensured the existing rubber ring gasket was in place and then put the new gauge in the hole. You then need to make sure the gauge is in straight and aligned the correct way up. I turned the console over and installed the two supplied mounting clips which secure the gauge in place,  then back to the bike, re attached the connectors and reset button and reinstalled the console, tightened the securing nut and done. Took me with my skills which are comparable to a monkey around 30 minutes and more than half of that was spent  thinking surely this cant be that simple.

When I first looked I could not see the red key symbol flashing. I turned the main switch on and was immediately hit with brightness and clarity

 of colours on the gauge. I can tell you I was mighty impressed and even though you can see the gauge on bikes on youtube, nothing compares to seeing it in the flesh. I was a little concerned about doing the 1 time odometre reset before 100 km thinking I could stuff that up, but it was super easy to punch in the old gauge readings and as long as you read the instructions well before attempting it you will find it is super easy.

With the standard Harley gauge you get a speedo an odometre, two trip meters the time and pretty much thats all. With the MCL-2004 you get a hell of a lot more. I found every thing tha dakota claims is there though the high beam does not show up. I did not go with the option of oil pessure and temp sensors, but may look at that in the future. The red key symbol now flashes when the gauge is off

I just turned it on at night and was blown away even more, it really is cutting edge. I know a lot people out there like and prefer the old style classic look and I can appreciate that, but this gauge takes it to a new star trek like level. I got the blue gauge face to match the LED fuel gauge, but you do have the option of a red gauge face.

Looking forward to exploring and getting to know the other features of the gauge. One thing I do need to check is the claim that it does not need speedo calibration if you havent changed your tyre/rims from factory standard.

At this moment I can honestly say I'm mega impressed and would highly recommend the product
