Thanks to all.
I am based in India and as the Harleys are just into 3 years here, the information and options are extremely limited. I looked at the HD site, checked the fitment & as it said it fits 2013 Street Bob, landed up buying it and have it shipped to me from USA.
Now I have two options. 1. I can sell it here as many are interested in it. It will fit bikes with 5" speedos.
2. I am looking for the correct dash/console which will fit onto a 2013 Street Bob and will accept the 5" Speedo along with the Ign/off/Acc switch.
Checked Fat Bob, that dash will not fit.
We do not have Switchback model here, so can not check it.
Would appreciate some guidance as to how to check the fitment of diffrent Dash to the 2013 Street Bob tank. If I can be sure of fitment, I can order it & have it shipped to India. It's expensive, but seems only solution.
I am riding out tomorrow on a 3 day trip and so may be a little late in posting replies. Please bear.
Thanks again for all the suggestions so far. Will explore each.

Took the "Sportster" speedo and wrinkle black dash off my '07 FXDB and replaced it with a '05 Wideglide unit. You want a Low Rider console with tach & speedo. Get a speedo for the year of your bike. If the speedo is for an older bike, say bye bye to the green 6. Also, the built in speedo warning lights will not work. You will have to modify the tank mount to make it accept the new console. Check ebay for parts. It's a fairly easy swap.

Have had a look at the options and it seems that the 2013 wideglide (FXDWG) has a console that is different but will fit on the Street Bob tank.
Can someone measure the Speedometer on their 2013 FXDWG and confirm if it is 5 inches size?
If yes, then I need Part No. for item Nos. 3 & 4, 3) Ignition switch nameplate (FXDWG) & 4) Console assembly (FXDWG) as shown in " Figure 7-67. Instrumentation: FXDWG and FXDB/P/A" in the service manual.
Thanks
