Default Fat Bob Instrument Panel

So riding down the road on a really sunny day, it is reflecting off the chrome instrument panel and blinding the heck out of me. Do they make a black one of these or do I need to take it off and have it painted / powder coated?

thanks. here is a pic of my bike.

It's the nature of the beast. Chrome in sunlight. You can get it powdercoated. I also have noticed that the new 2014's come with a black panel. Not sure if it's a direct replacement or not.

I wish I could cut it down some and powder coat it wrinkle black. Too Big, Too Shiney.

I'd love to find a dash for a 5" speedo to fit my '07 street bob and have it powder coated wrinkle black...
