I put a blackline dash on my '02 Fatboy and it fit real well, if not perfect. Don't know about older than '02 though. Good luck.

I believe the contour of the Evo may be a little different than the newer Softails (2000-up). Keep in mind that the Evo models have split (2) gas tanks, so mounting a new dash from a newer bike to an older tank may need some modification or may not work at all.

What are you trying to do with the console? Washington Choppers makes a nice panel that replaces the dash on the older split tanks if that's the route you're looking to go.
