What do you mean by the dash? Do you mean the stock tach and speedo? Or one of those tank mount things? or the gen/oil lights?

Best when looking for parts is to use the parts catalog 99451-78B and quote the actual part number[s] that you want. This is the only way when searching eBay or enquiring with one of the NOS parts guys. You can buy the parts catalog thru any local indie bike shop, HD dealer, eBay, J&P Cycles, etc.

The bracket is part number 92075-77.
Tach is 92051-75D.
Speedo is 67020-74B.

There are other part numbers in the book as well as there were small changes from year to year.

You can get used OEM, NOS OEM, and new aftermarket on eBay; or new aftermarket from J&P Cycles etc.

Thanks man. Used to automotive parts are which are much easier to locate. Any recommendation on pipe length? Debating between 40 inch and 32 inch. Has 40 on i now but its a ways from being ready to start to hear it run

AFAIK over size/overlength/underlength exhaust systems are for appearance only - no contribution to power, most likely a decrease. I do not know what is the stock exhaust length.

73 and earlier is one style, 74-on is another. Yours should be what the man is looking for.

T ron - if they look like the right ones and are in at least restorable condition i would be interested. The bike is to old to put any of the aftermarket ones on. they look to much like a car dash board mounted to the bars.

Mick - I have no clue what the original size was or the diameter of pipe. The ones on it now are 1.25" seems about right.
