Anyone here take a early 90's late 80's FLHS and convert to a later look FLHR? I have a 93 FLHS, runs good, looks decent but that damned gauge cluster atop the headlight nacelle is just so awkward looking.

If I remember correctly, that series had an extended neck that makes retrofitting other types of front ends difficult.

Long ago I remember using a dremel and polishing compound to make it unique and somewhat stylish. Sorry, no pictures of the results and the bike is long gone.

Roadking. Flh front end can be had for 500$. But you will need a speedo. The roadkings are electronic our electra glides are mech speedo

A '95 or earlier Softail speedo might work, but you'll need to figure out how to adapt it to mount on the gas tank.

I don't think the FLH housing will fit, you would probably need the special Road King housing.

Thanks to all, I may leave it as is with the expense to change it over. Still a good ride just looks different. Almos wish I could upgrade to the Roadie style of our 2012, that is a badass ride!!
