    I am thinking of doing the dakota digital gauges i blue for my street glide, if I try to sell the original guages what is a fair deal or price to ask or get?  Thanks,

[Chains]

Depends if someone needs them, I have seen them sell as high as $450.00 on  ebay and as low as $250.00 if you get lucky someone may be doing a rebuild and want yours and you could get more.  Love the Dakota's used them in street rods, just hate to part with the money for the bike.  Good Luck

What is the cost on these Dakota digitals?

$1299 retail........

I forget which version comes on the SESG, but looking at the Titanium series in the Harley catalog, the full MSRP is $527.35 for all 6 gauges.  So I guess that would establish the absolute maximum price you might get, unless you find one of those folks who pays more at a salvage yard for car parts than he would have paid for brand new parts elsewhere.  Before you laugh, I've known folks who have done that.

I have no idea what kind of market exists right now for gauge upgrades on '08 and later standard Harley's, but unless you make the price very attractive I can't see people beating down the door for take-offs.  You might want to pack the old ones up and store them for awhile, just in case a 2011 or 2012 model convinces you to trade.

    Thanks, the 2010 sesg comes witht the spun alu guages and would normally be 600 plus tax, we'll see 1200+ is alot to look cool. would be nice to recoup some $$$ by selling the old ones, cant beleive nothing better than retail on the dakotas.

HD-Dude sells them at 10% off.

Talking to local dealer today and parts guy talked of a problem lately with the Dakotas?  Anyone heard anything on this?

What's the problem?

Terrie's gauges have gone static a couple of times, riding in the rain.  But just push the trip button to reset and it's all good.   She feels the same way that I do about them......never go without them again.

He did not say, I just was listening out of curiosity, and thought i would share and maybe someone knew of something.  Not trying to start a rumor just thought I would check with everyone.

Melanie and a couple others from Nor Cal have them, but I haven't heard of anything.  Next time you're in the dealership, if you think about it, ask him what the issue was/is.  Might just be a freak one issue kind of thing......or what Terrie has experienced a couple of times.  That's easily re-setable and it doesn't loose any information (mileage, etc.).

Will do, because I am really liking yours more and more when you post that rear shot of the two with the gauges lit.

I think yours would look better with the red DD gauges.  And, they'd already match your stereo so you wouldn't have that conversion expense.  Jus sayin.......

Just my 2 cents worth here I like dakota's as well but did you take a look at the klock werks/ auto meter gauges they are selling I think they look great and at night WOW! They are under accessories on klock werks website.

Only thing I've heard is a glitch with some tuning devices.  See this thread for some info, doesn't appear to be a big deal:
