Default Switchback Gauges

I have a 2015 Dyna Switchback. Pretty much a Dyna with a road king front end. I’d like to mount a volt gauge and oil temp gauge on it. Does anyone make such a kit for a road king or something that I could retrofit to this bike? All it has is Speedo, would like voltage gauge as a minimum. No answers elsewhere so I thought I'd try here.

I have the fancy harley speedo on my Switch with tach and a billion light options but it doesn't have a voltage gauge. I'm bookmarking this as i'd like to know what you find out. I was wondering about that myself but haven't put any effort into finding one.

You could get a Powervision and use its display to show you or a FP3 tuner and view those from your phone. Probably not the cheapest or cleanest way but definitely easy.

I just figured someone somewhere would have made a gauges holder to mount on the handlebar or something to at least put a gauge or two in it. Even for the road king, which is pretty much identical.

FL Softail front end is very similar. Many parts are interchangeable but Touring (Road King);front ends are different.

You have me thinking now and i think this is the best option

You need the gauge, the housing, and the clamp for your bar size. My total came to 299.00 before tax. I'm in Canada so probably closer to 500 bones all said and done. I think i'm going to do it.

For that much money just get a used PowerVision. It will show more than just the volts and not have to be married to the bike

A good looking gauge housing would be a great start..

It is nice but I bought the Power Vision. Its only a bit more than that pricey gauge and does soooooooo much more. Consider that suggestion Qdog made
