Default Gauge Cushions and Back Covers - Change
Just got my speedo/tacho I ordered since my FXDX did not come with one. I want to replace the front cushion because of a minor dent and actually want them all to be black. Do I ordered them black or is that something I paint on my own? Looking at them how do I replace them? Are the screws on the back all it is to take them apart and replace?

Powder pro can take them apart, powder coat the rings and reassemble

Don't torch me but I plasti dipped the rings on mine until I have more stuff to send joe



Left one is plasti dip and the right one came black. It's pretty close. Good enough for temporary

You got part numbers for those? I was told by Harley that the speedo and tach were considered "sealed" units and rings/ glass were not replaceable through them. The back piece would be an easy fix but the front trim ring is a different story
