Default Dakota Digital install completed

Got a used set from the classifieds and had the miles reset from DD. I think they look cool and have a lot of great calibration settings.

Install fairly easy too. I did splice the additional ground from the fuel gauge to ensure 100% accuracy. Also the oil temp sensor seems like a better set up than HD. The probe sticks out more into the oil pan.

Those gauges look awesome. I need to save up for a pair. What Sony radio is that you have installed and does it work with the factory HD handlebar audio controls?

Sony MEX-M70BT w/ Biketronics Retro Radio kit that allows the handlebar controls to retain their functions.
