Ok, First hello everyone I am a new member. I have a 93 flhtc that I would like to install a up to date ultra classic dash and fairing. What problems will I be facing? I like the 6 individual gauges and lower switches. Your help and expert opinion is appreciated.

Thank you ......

 

Hello!!! There has been a couple threads on this on the EVO part of this site. You can use the "search this thread" function in the upper right part of each thread or section. It is do-able with some work, a bunch of parts (you inner AND outer fairing will be different) and some luck!!!!

 

So I really didn't see what I'm Looking for........Can you give me any ideas

 

Can you be a little more specific ...... can't find what i need

 

To get it to work on your 93, you'll have to search through the evo section, If I had the links I'd provide them, but seach on "fairing" , inner fairing, etc..

- in short - you'll need to by a inner and outer fairing, windshield and headlight with mounting brackets and trim rings for a 97' or above first.

Then you'll need to by the gauges and you'll have to wire the speedo , the turnsignals, indicator lights, Tach and handllebar controls into the existing harness, it is not plug and play , then you'll need address how to get a solution for the speedo to work if yours is cable driven... Plus you'll need to address the wiring for tunes...

It is all doable , it will take some parts, patience and the factory wiring diagram to make it happen , but folks have done it.

 

Welcome to the forum from east tennessee.

 

If you find a set of guages for a 99 the speedo is cable....

 

You need the complete fairing assembly, in other words everything you can see, plus the internal wiring, mounting brackets etc. If you can find the whole thing as a take-off that will be simplest. I tried the same thing many years ago, to upgrade my 1990 FLHS with an ultra fairing and found a bike the owner had chopped, so he was pleased to get rid of all the dresser parts he had taken off.

As already suggested it can be done, but only with a lot of determination and preferably not in the riding season! I gave up, because the problems of knitting together the wiring between my bike and the fairing electrics was too much for my liking. It meant cutting up my main harness which I was not prepared to do. You may have to do the same.

You could do with reading through a workshop manual for your own bike and another for a later bike, to get a measure of what is in front of you. It is unlikely to be a simple job, but one that requires quite a lot of work, even given all the parts you need.

 

I'd think that the 'improvements' would not be worth the time/money.
Why not just trade up to a bike with the 'new improvements'?

 

When I upgraded my 1989 Ultra to the 1996/later fairing, i found a complete fairing, less the speedometer , on eBay. it was a great buy. And made it easier to change the fairing over.
