Upgrade your old Dyna gauges - Dakota Digital combo gauge & easy wiring

  • In this video I show you how to easily wire up a Dakota Digital MLX 3000 Speedo/Tach combo gauge (or even Autometer or almost any universal gauges).
    Also, I use an 06+ harness which you can still buy, it will give you LED indicator lights and it plugs right into the factory harness.
    My main focus throughout this video is to make the wiring painless and keep everything clean and factory like.
    This video mainly applies to 1999-2003 Harley Dyna FXD, FXDX, and FXDXT models.
    (In 2004+ Harley switched the communication signal for the gauges to a BUS digital signal for those years, so you will need to use a gauge that will support that. And yes Dakota Digital and Koso both make plug-n-play gauges for those years.)

    Awesome work. Another thing I need to do on my 03 FXD. I already have the intellitronix fuel gauge.

    I originally bought a koso hd multifunction gauge, it wasn’t compatible with 99-03 dynas due to no speed sensor wiring in the gauge to wire to. Don’t waste the time on koso. Spend the extra money on the Dakota digital and is the easiest install with the help of this video!

      Koso wouldn’t work on the older stuff but for the newer bikes it’s pretty badass I think.
      I’m running a Koso on a 2017 Sportster, a sweeping tach is nice to have.

    Great multi gauge tutorial. Who makes the digital fuel gauge you have?? Real sharp combo

      Thanks! It’s an Intellitronix fuel gauge. In the other video that I have on wiring for fuel gauge, the part no. is posted in description

    Who did your seat? Looks like a Saddlemen but I've never seen one with the diamond stitching and tuck and roll! Nice🤘

    • @Manis-World
      @Manis-World  2 роки тому

      It’s custom ordered from Saddlemen with tuck-roll using gripper material for front.
      MyGarageVentura had this one in stock a while back

    Question Do you have a part number for that gauge housing or know what year bike its from thank you

    Could this be done with a 1997 dyna superglide fxd ? I was able to do it with the fuel gauge with some differences than yours

    • @Manis-World
      @Manis-World  3 роки тому

      Good stuff man, glad you got the fuel gauge working.
      And yes this Dakota digital gauge will work with older bikes as well.
      You just have to figure out wiring by looking at your factory wiring diagram.. it’s seems intimidating but is simple once you get working on it

    I have a 2004 FXD, it does not have a tach, will I be able to wire the tach up to work or will my harness not have a tach wire in it? Also I seen the numbers across the top 1 2 3 4 5 6 are those gear indicators and do they work?

    • @Manis-World
      @Manis-World  3 роки тому

      You won't be able to use this exact gauge..this video mainly applies to pre-04 bikes. The numbers at the top are the tach (bar graph style).
      In 2004 Harley switched to Serial BUS digital signal to the gauges.
      Dakota and Koso both make gauges that are plug-n-play for 04+ FXDs and they gave a tach built in but you may have have to add 1 wire as it may be blank on your connector.

  • @firegrunt03
    @firegrunt03 2 роки тому

    Wait, you mean to say you got the pre 04 Harley to a combo speedo and Tach ? They have a gauge on 04 and up but they say it cant work for 03 and earlier harleys

    • @Manis-World
      @Manis-World  2 роки тому

      Yup.. there’s a version of this gauge that’s basically a “universal” type and that’s how you can wire it up for the older ones.
      The 04-11 style is a plug-n-play that needs a digital BUS signal; very different from pre-04 bike wiring

    how are those headlights? Mounting issues?

    • @Manis-World
      @Manis-World  2 роки тому

      Actually pretty easy to mount and wire up with no extra parts.
      Some fairings have slight clearance issues.
      Otherwise, brightest and best pattern light on the road period!

    Dude hell yeah! Thanks for this! Mines in the mail and I’m just waiting for the wiring harness from HD, can’t wait. If I dm you on Instagram would you possibly be able to send me a pic of your wiring cheesy sheet? I tried screen shotting it but can’t read it when I zoom it in
