Thank you for purchasing the Dakota Digital MCL-30K-TCH gauge for your Harley Davidson Touring bike. This kit is
designed to be a replacement for all touring models, from 1996 – 2003. 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.

to expose the wiring and gauges. Road Glide (FLTR) models will not need the outer fairing removed.
