Default Leather tank panel removed... looks good

I just removed tank panel on 09 fat bob. Looks a lot better with it off. It was real dirty under it, waxed it up, looks like new. Easiest mod ever...

Wasn't there a seam under there? Mine is Black Denim, so wax wouldn't be advisable. Might be worth the effort to take it off, though. Could you post a photo of yours?

I did that on my '08 Fat Bob. I didn't like the seam, so I added this cover piece. It is off of an '08 Wide Glide, but since they share the same tank it fits just fine. Don't know why they won't list it with the other FXDF parts. It's plastic (though they call it chrome), and I intend to paint it black along with the console at some point.

I replaced mine with one from a soft tail. I use it for 'velcroeing' my ipod to the bike.

Yeh, it fits the FXDC also. With some double sided 3m tape, I put my own little spin on it.
