I did something similar to my bike. But I got my dash cover from RocketBobs, it is held on with velcro.... easy to take on and off looks clean also. But I love the look of the machined cover you have... cant wait to see what else you have done with it.

You might want to re-think plugging the pressure vent...

The cap lets the air in, but doesn't relieve the tank pressure.

Try filling your tank and parking in the Hot SoCal weather...no bueno

Just to ask because I don't know. What do older bikes have. Did they have a gas vent back then? Do choppers have a vent line?

I just never ever seen them before if they do. Or I wasn't looking for them

Carbed tanks all vent. Method varies. My 99 has a nipple on top that runs to an external check valve via a rubber hose.

Ignition switch will replace the horn location. Need to find a spot for the horn. My crash bar uses the hole on the legs so it gotta go somewhere crafty

I like what you've done here. That dash plate is super clean. Great work.

Think I just found you on Instagram. If that's you the paint job looks great. Who did it. I vote red thunder exhaust for your set up
