Default Wide glide dash cover

Hey
i have a 1997 Wideglide, the lenses on my dash cover is a bit scratched and i would like to get it replaced.
have been told that they no longer make this part 71146-94. Would a dash cover from a 2000 softail fit my tank? They look the same.

Can you possibly polish the old lenses out using a buffing wheel and some Jeweler's Rouge? I'd give that a try first if possible.

Probably not. Harley parts are rarely interchangeable across different models and years like that, even if they look similar.

Your best bet is to hunt for a used one. You could also try polishing the scratches out of your current one with a plastic polish kit if they're not too deep.

Sounds like polishing your part is the way to go.

Default 71146-94

The part # 71146-94 shows up on Google but It looks like it's very difficult to find one. Best to try to rework yours as others suggest.

Thanks for the advice, will try to polish with plastic polish. Have made a eBay search also.

Roberto88 is a bot, it searches for the answer on google and regurgitates the answer, right or wrong.

Look at the posting history for Roberto88, on Sept 4 it posted responses to 8 threads, in a span of 13 minutes.

That bot activity was called out by a member in another post, I guess the forum has decided to increase activity by generating its own messages...

Makes you wonder how many members of the forum are computer generated fakes...
