Thank you for purchasing the Dakota Digital MCL-36K-TCH gauge for your Harley Davidson Touring bike. This gauge
is designed to be a direct, plug in replacement for all touring models from 2004 – 2011. This is part of a six gauge
package for touring models so you can add additional gauges as you choose.
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.
Remove the outer fairing; this will vary from model to model, so 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 gauge and these
detailed instructions will guide you through it.

- Page 1 Unplug the tachometer. Remove the screws securing the clamp that holds the gauge in place and pull it out through the front of the fairing. Save the screws, gasket, and clamp to be reused when you install the new Dakota Digital gauge.
- Page 2 Plug the original tachometer connector directly into the new gauge. The BLUE wire on the small, two-wire plug can provide a dimming signal for other Dakota Digital MCL-3K or MCL-36K gauges. The tachometer has a sensor that activates the dimming feature when ambient light is low and provides +12V out on the BLUE wire. The gauge will dim to 50% intensity.
- Page 3 The function switch, discussed above, is used to enter setup mode for all of the gauges. If you are only installing one or a couple Dakota Digital MCL-3K gauges, then setup may seem a little strange since they are designed to work as a set.
