Isn't this something that member Omaha fixed well recently with some marine ply and crinkle finish paint? Didn't someone else offer an old bezel or something? I cannot remember.
Which bit specifically, do you have some part numbers? The box or the entire unit?
If you can tell us, I'll keep an eye out for one. There's a few bits and pieces up on Ebay right now.
Just as an aside, and I appreciate this is not what you are after, there's a great vintage one up there right now for a ridiculous, but probably valid price (for its rarity). Fugly cool is the word.
That's all I have and there is a lot of,damage to the fairing but I'm missing the whol radio caddy setup.
If JWBoon will ship to the U.S. It would help me a lot they have the caddy but I'm not seeing a fairing yet
Using an 1985 as an example, I don't see the inner as a standard part. I didn't know that.
Is this it ... what's your year and model ?
Mine is an 85 the fairing is an uncut one. So the headlight mounts on the fairing instead of of a headlight bucket. The gauge bracket I have is number 62. Need bracket 44 if I want to run a fairing like the one in he parts schematic

I've seen some that take the speedo console off the handlebars and stick it into the batwing. No idea where it comes from. Will try and keep an eye out for it.
There are a few others, and some discussion on the hack, on this forum, e.g. this one below or here and here. One thread mentions an out of business company called 'Radio Caddy Inc' who actually held a now defunct patent for it. You could hunt down one Manuel D. Masterson and see if he still has the moulds! There's also an H-D number, P/N: 77023-84 for one.
I think the one below might be "DIY" but it looks like it could be doable, or rather improvable, without much effort ... some metal plate drilled, then powdercoated, with room for other guages or upgrades like a USB power port for phones etc. You could probably even mount an iPad nicely in one and make the Rushmore guy jealous of your GPS Maps system.
Megaparts seem to list an H-D one but, frustratingly, they've shut down their internet shop. You may get an answer calling them.

Not wanting to be left out here, this is my FLH batwing, on my FLHS. It never had any add-on panel of any kind. I bought it off the long-time owner of an '83 Glide, in what I call coffee and cream colours, as he took it off, complete with mounting brackets. I ended up making my own mounts, from scratch. Despite appearances my GPS gives me a clear view of the instruments.
