Default Old dash on new heritage
Has anyone been able to put an older style dash with the power **** in the middle on a 2018+ heritage? Or maybe a road king dash? IoI like the looks of the older ones. I was just wondering if anyone has seen it done or has seen a write-up of it. I've searched several forums and couldn't find one myself.

I miss the feature too. I liked turning that huge **** on my Night Train, but it's absent from my Fat Boy.

Think this might be a wiring nighmare. With the new keyless start, it's a regressive feature in the eyes of HD. Not out of the question, but guessing expensive with the electronics etc.

Not sure on the fit of the old dash but if you really wanted to you could wire your kill switch into the big **** switch and have the look and feel of it.

They've been doing keyless start for years, it shouldn't be any different than any of those models I wouldn't think. I'm really just trying to see if anyone else has been able to do it more than anything. If I can figure something out I know I definitely will do it.
