I just purchased a 1990 H-D FLHTC Electra Glide. I was wondering if there was any possible way that I could upgrade the whole back of the front fairing (Where the instrument cluster/gauges, radio, and all the switches) to the look of the newer Harleys. I would love the more modern look compared to what i have!!
1990 FLHS here, with a shovel batwing. Your bike is over 20 years old. What is it about the current bikes you prefer over your beautiful Evo?!
You could consider installing a take-off from a later bike, but there are various things things to consider, such as the wiring uses different connectors, you have a cable driven speedo, etc. Learn to love what you have. You can probably fit an after-market or later spec radio.
