Thank you for purchasing the Dakota Digital MCL-3K-B gauge for your Harley Davidson Touring bike.
This gauge is designed to be a direct, plug in replacement for all touring models from 1996 and up. This
is part of a six gauge package for touring models so you can add additional gauges as you choose.
The MCL-3K-B gauge comes with a vacuum/boost pressure sensor. You must use the supplied
sensor, other sensors will result in inaccurate readings.
INSTALLATION
First read and familiarize yourself with all of the components and this manual. The first step is to
remove the seat and disconnect the negative side of the battery, as with any electronic install. Once the
battery is disconnected you are ready to start.
REMOVAL OF FACTORY GAUGES
Remove the outer fairing; this will vary from model to model, please follow the service manual to
expose the wiring and gauges. Don't be alarmed by the amount of wires behind the fairing, this is a
direct plug in kit and these detailed instructions will guide you through it.

All of the small gauges, fuel, volts, oil, and air temp have two plugs. One is for illumination the
other is for the gauge power, ground, and sensor signal. The illumination harness, two pins (orange and
black wires), will not be reused and can hang freely inside the fairing with the bulb removed, or can be
secured to the other gauge wires to clean things up. The three pin connector from the stock gauge will be
used to connect the new Dakota Digital MCL-3K gauge. Unplug connectors at the back of the gauge,
then remove the two 5/16" nuts holding the clamps onto each small gauge and remove the gauges.
***New nuts for the small gauges are included in the hardware pack DO NOT reuse the stock nuts for the
new gauges; they are not the same thread.

- Page 2 Remove the small gauge with 5/16” wrench or nut driver Save Clamp, and reuse for install INSTALLATION OF NEW MCL-3K-B GAUGE Install the new gauge into the fairing using the original clamp, along with the supplied nuts. Be sure the alignment tab on the clamp lines up with the notches in the fairing when tightening the clamp back up, flat side down.
- Page 3 If you are adding this gauge to the set rather than replacing one (you will have a total of 5 small Dakota Digital gauges on the bike) you will need to locate any one of the other BLUE and GREEN wires going to the other gauges in the set, cut and splice into the new harness.
- Page 4 To complete the installation, thread the supplied 1/8” NPT to 1/8” vacuum line adaptor on the end of the sensor (thread sealant may be used to seal the threads). Secure the sensor to a fairing bracket or some of the wiring behind the fairing making sure it doesn’t interfere with the outer fairing.

The GREEN switch input wire, in the two pin connector, is used to enter setup. If you are only installing one or a couple Dakota Digital MCL-3K gauges set up may seem a little strange since they are designed to work as a set, however you’ll simply cycle through a few screens to get to the desired gauge. -
