MAN#650335
FLTR (ROAD GLIDE)
You will need to remove the speedometer and tachometer instrument bezel. To do this, remove two small screws on
the left and right side of the bezel. Lift up on the back of the bezel and slide the tab that is under the ignition switch out
from under the switch cover (see Photo A below). Unplug the gauge connections and unplug the indicator lights so the
bezel can be completely removed for easier installation of the new gauge. Remove the clamp that holds the
tachometer to the bezel and remove the gauge and gasket.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
SAVE ALL CLAMPS, GASKETS, and SCREWS FROM THE STEPS ABOVE AS THEY WILL BE USED TO SECURE THE NEW
DAKOTA DIGITAL GAUGE
Next you are ready to install the new gauge into the fairing. Install the gauge and secure using the original hardware
that was removed: clamp, gasket, and screws. Be sure the alignment tab on the clamp lines up with the notches in the
fairing. Some fairings may only have one notch, line up at least one tab on the clamp with the notch in the fairing, this
will ensure the gauges are centered and aligned correctly.
WIRING (plug in connections)
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. The GREEN wire is used for entering setup and for changing the message screen. This can be wired
to a momentary push button switch and the other side to +12V. If an MCL-36K-SPD gauge is also being installed then
this can connect to the green wire from the speedometer.
