I have thought about getting a set of Dakota Digital gauges for a long time but they were just too expensive. I found a reasonable price by reading this forum :-) and ordered them.

I am waiting for them to arrive and have read the instructions. Looks like it is pretty straight forward. My question is more about using the gauges themselves. I have ridden bikes for a long time and have never had digital gauges. Always watched the needles. Was it difficult to get used to the digital gauges? How do you like them now? Any regrets? Favorite features?Pros and Cons welcome.

 

Depending on what gauge you got, some of them can be programed to alert you when, for example, the oil pressure drops.

I only know a few people with them but I've only heard good things. Personally, I don't think I would like digital because I love seeing the tach and speedometer needles move when I'm getting on it but that's just me. My husband, on the other hand, loves all things digital.

Lindsey :0)

 

BTW...I see from your public profile that you are from upstate SC. Where abouts? We're in Charlotte...

 

Between Spartanburg and Greenville - not far from you at all

 

I've had the Dakota Digital 6 pak for a while and love them, easier to see and read, installation and calibration simple , they have many features regular gauges don't, you will love them

 

Another fan here. They are MUCH easier to read than the stock gauges and do give you a lot more info. I absolutely LOVE them!

 

Where did you get the good deal?

 

Check e-bay. One of our forum members sells them there.

 

I love mine. Like everyone else says. Easier to read, give alot of good info that stock guages don't. My favorite is they give the head temp.

 

The Dakota Digital gauges are much easier to read in bright sunlight, and automatically dim at dusk. The TAC RPM display is adjustable, and the oil temp and voltmeter gauges can be set to warn for excessive oil temperature or drop or spike in amperage. There is also a gear indicator in the TAC. I just sent my TAC back to Dakota to upgrade the software to accomodate the 7th gear of my Baker DD7. Expensive---yes, functional---absolutely!
