Default MotoGadget

My son purchased a Motogadget system for a build that he is doing. There is a bar with indicator lights and the main computer, as I call it, that has the speedo, tach and other functions. Problem is that the so called instructions, aren't really clear as to how to hook things up. I can figure out the indicator lights but looking at the stock speedo and light harness, the wires go into the speedo unit then cross over to the indicator lights. Has anyone here had the pleasure of wiring one of these up to a 2105 Sportster? I would really like to get the speedometer to work if that is the only function along with the separate light bar. Any help will be appreciated.

Did you get the motoscope mini? I would suggest getting the M-Can to go with it. This plugs directly into the serial port by your battery making the wiring really simple:

I see that the 2015 is not listed in the fitment section. I am not familiar with this unit at all. I know that there are just wires, and lots of them that need terminated somewhere.

yeah if you don’t use the m-can, I would dig into the service manual (if you have one) and look at the wiring schematics. I took notes and wrote down what I would have to cut out of the harness to tie into the motogadget.

Im installing a motogadget mini on my 06 sportster. Does the m-can eliminate wiring all together?
