Default Better dash insert for RK

I don't know about you guys but I hated that aluminum / gray looking dash insert that comes with the RK. The one on the RK special looks a lot nicer even tho the dash is still chrome.

definitely looks much better on the black bike..mine's orange so think it might look like too much contrast rather than compliment it

You are probably right. I forgot there was other colors than black.

That really dressed it up!! I'm thinking it would look on the other colors as well. It gives it a more "finished" look.

This was my approach. Obviously not professional, but the price was right.

Hey Max... Do you happen to have the part number for the insert that is in your picture? I've only been able to find a whole black console kit (which I don't want), and I'm not sure if the insert is identical to yours. https://accessories.harley-davidson....ad-kingsup/sup

I like the look of your insert in the chrome dash. Thanks...
