Nope no cables. Picks up all data via the stock harness from the ECM. just unplug your stock speedo and plug the Dakota in. 5 min job max!

Grrrr! Makes me wonder why doesn't Harley just use a digital speedo/tach right off the bat. Rpm data is already reaching the stock speedo but they don't even utilize it.

When you buy it you have the option of choosing either the chrome or black surround

So if this rpm data is getting to the speedo, could you cut into the speedo cable and add a techo?
