Manual # 650300:C
MCL-3000 SERIES AIR PRESSURE
PART# MCL-3K-A
Thank you for purchasing the Dakota Digital MCL-3K-A 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 appropriate sensor must be purchased separately. For 0-150 psi, use SEN-1031, and for 0-
400 psi, use SEN-
1035. These sensors have 1/8” NPT threads and a branch tee adapter is supplied
with the gauge to allow connection to 5/32” plastic air lines. Depending on the application, some
fittings/plumbing may be required by the customer which are not included in the kit.
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.
