Dakota Digital MLX-3000 Series: The Ultimate CAN-bus Dash Upgrade (2011–2021)

Bring the latest in digital innovation to your ride with the Dakota Digital MLX-3000 Series Speedometer/Tachometer. Specifically engineered for 2011–2021 Harley-Davidson models equipped with the CAN-bus (HD-LAN) wiring system, this gauge is a massive digital instrumentation upgrade. Whether you are customizing a Sportster Iron 883, a Dyna Street Bob, or a Softail Breakout, the MLX-3000 replaces the basic factory analog dial with a high-resolution TFT display. This system provides a comprehensive look at your V-Twin performance, ensuring that speed, engine speed, and vital diagnostics are always visible with show-quality clarity.

Bluetooth Customization and Sunlight-Readable Tech

The MLX-3000 Series is designed for the rider who demands total control over their aesthetic. Featuring built-in Bluetooth connectivity, you can configure your entire gauge setup directly from your smartphone using the Dakota Digital app. Choose from over 31 selectable illumination colors for the background, digital needle, and text readouts to perfectly complement your bike’s custom paint or LED lighting. The sunlight-readable TFT screen utilizes an inverted high-contrast display to ensure readability even in harsh midday glare, while an auto-dimming sensor protects your night vision during evening cruises.

Comprehensive Data Monitoring and Performance Tools

Don’t let the compact 3-3/8″ size fool you; this instrumentation upgrade is packed with features that the factory gauge lacks. The MLX-3000 monitors a full suite of engine vitals and performance metrics, including:

• Dual Readouts: Simultaneous digital Speedometer and a graphic bar-style Tachometer.
• Gear Position: Large, easy-to-read digital indicator for 5 and 6-speed transmissions.
• Performance Metrics: 0–60 mph timer, 1/4 mile time and speed, and high-speed/RPM recall.
• Diagnostic Icons: Integrated indicators for check engine, low oil pressure, ABS, security, and low fuel.
• Standard Info: Clock, voltage, odometer, and dual resettable trip meters.

Seamless CAN-bus Integration and Plug-and-Play Setup

Engineered specifically for the modern CAN-bus (HD-LAN) architecture found on 2011-later Softails and 2012-later Dynas and Sportsters, the MLX-3000 is a true plug-and-play replacement. It utilizes your factory wiring harness and sensors, meaning there is no wire cutting or splicing required. This chassis service upgrade even allows you to program your original mileage into the odometer during the initial setup (one-time feature), preserving the integrity of your Harley-Davidson service history and the resale value of your machine.

American-Made Quality and Chassis Reliability

Proudly manufactured in the USA, Dakota Digital is the industry leader in aftermarket Harley parts and electronic precision. Their gauges are built to withstand the punishing vibrations of Milwaukee-Eight and Twin Cam engines. The MLX-3000 is weather-sealed against the elements, providing chassis reliability that professional custom builders trust for long-distance touring and aggressive street riding. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this gauge is a long-term investment in your motorcycle’s functionality.

Installation and Care Tips

Installing the MLX-3000 is straightforward, fitting directly into the stock 3-3/8″ mounting cup. We recommend inspecting your handlebar wiring for any pinching before finalizing the mount. To maintain the TFT display’s pristine finish, clean it only with a soft microfiber cloth and avoid using harsh chemical sprays directly on the lens. If you are relocating your gauge from the tank to the handlebars, ensure you have the appropriate mounting bracket to complete the Stage 1 styling upgrade.
