Chrome Fuel Tank Trim Panel Kit
Chrome Fuel Tank Trim Panel Kit
I'm thinking about adding the Chrome Fuel Tank Trim Panel Kit (PN: 61653-0) to my 2006 XL 1200C Custom Sportster. I'm curious to know if any of you folks have done so and what you think of it. Does it fit over the stock stainless panel, does it look good, was it easy to install ???

It aint Chrome, polished stainless. I opted for the painted graphics to add a true custom touch. Plus the MoCo started adding this piece to alot of bikes straight from the Factory so there will be alot of them out there. Just another in the herd if you go that route. I like the look but just wanted to begin to do things that would make mine less uh "cookie cutter". Just my .02

I'm corn-fused, Blackbird... isn't that what's already on your 1200C?

OK, just did some research. Stock console= stainless steel per 2006 model catalog. Part 61653-04 is listed as Mirror Chrome and fits around stock fuel cap per parts catalog.
I think that you'll have to remove the stock console and replace it with the other (if there's actually a difference). I assume the stock console would be held on w/ 3M type tape.

RE: Chrome Fuel Tank Trim Panel Kit
The tank trim on my Custom was removed and I left it off. I thought about making it shiny and putting it back on because it's kind of a wide empty space, but decided I didn't need the sun reflecting into my face. I opted for a leather tank bib such as is pictured in the attached. THe pocket is a handy place to keep registration, glasses, etc. The one I have is similar to the one shown on the 3.3 tank, but the one with the chrome dots is more what it looks like on a 4.5 tank. One of these days I'll update my photo album with more current photos so you can see what it looks like on my Custom.

Well I promised I'd get some photos of the tank bib on my 1200, but haven't had it out in the sunshine where I could get some decent color balance. The neon lights in the basement really throw colors off. So here's a couple shots taken down there anyway.
