Default Any comments on Dakota Digital MLX-2004 ??

Their product video makes my head spin, jumping from touring to Softail. How do they even sell these things with the crappy info they put out? These are pricey, any experiences or comments?

1) if there is a "tie in" to a phone, will more gps than "direction headed" come in the future?
2) visibility in bright sun?
3) can you buy and reset mileage on the bike ??? Sounds scary and the kiss of death for the used bike market!
4) humidity and or foggy glass issues over time?


cute but not helpful



​​​​​​My target is use in a 08 Heritage.

Here is their video:

Call them with your questions Great customer service!They are very easy to contact and will answer all your questions.
As to the odometer, you program it to your old reading. I took a dated picture of the old odometer reading before removing it, for any questions from anyone on actual mileage. Then another picture of the new odometer to reading . But ask them about that, too they may have more info I totally prefer the digital to the factory HD

What year is the bike ? Also, another option might be the Koso gauge, just
depends on what you like visually...
