Default Help on Mods

Any superglide 04 - 06 guys out there that can tell me the diameter of the fuel filler and fuel guage on their tank console ?

I am thinking of converting my 2008 fxdf and like the lines on the old superglide one .

I was thinkin that if I relocate the ignition switch to the headstock { same as Street Bob } this could allow me to fit my speedo into the space that originally houses the fuel filler on the superglide { mods maybe ? } and fit a tacho or shift guage into the original fuel guage space .

I haven't worked out the idiot lights yet but working on it .

By the way , does anyone have a take off they wont rid off preferably wrinkle black ?

Oh forgot ! I will also need to know the depth and mounting points of the superglide speedo please.

What do you think ?

Am I MAD

tartan,

06 FXD -

diameter of the fuel filler is 4 1/4"

diameter of the fuel guage is 2 1/2"

depth of the housing under filler is about 1 1/2"

I have a tank disassembled for paint.

Let me know what else you need.

I'm not clear what you mean by mounting points.

Thanks Mudpuddle

I am working on my bike at my buddies place so I will check the size of my speedo at the weekend. But I think it is larger than 4 1/4 and will see how deep it is .

I wondered if the 4 mounting holes would be in the same position as the Fatbob but will probably have to get one to check. Made an offer on one on ebay tonight.

I think the ignition switch should fit.

Thanks again !!!!!!
