You can look up what you need to know yourself if you want to, with this tool.

Thanks for the list.

Joe,

I still think the new dash looks great on your bike! You have really spent time on the kind of details that makes your already great bike into a standout!

Ride safe!

Thanks Dave! Your bike is a real standout, you have researched and chosen your mods wisely in my opinion, I love the sprung seat setup you have in particular.

For those that don't know, Dave did a terrific how to write up for those looking to get a sprung seat on their springer.

Which raises a question someone had, I'll ask in your thread Dave to keep things on track!

Default Thank you.

I decided I didn't have enough anniversary badges (lol) so I repurposed a windshield badge for my new pocket.

I wanted to say thanks. Your write up helped me change mine.

Looks fantastic! Makes you wonder why they ever put that AMF-lookin' ugly block of metal on the classic look bikes to begin with.

Hey guys,
I've got this dash on the shelf waiting to buy the indicator lights before I do the swap. Can someone tell me what the two small standoffs are at the bottom on the underside of the dash? Do they hold the bib? What do they ride against?
I'm modifying mine to fit my Deuce and I'm not sure how to deal with those two little pins.
Thanks in advance, folks.

Not quite sure what you're referring to, my bib is held by two hooks with double face tape on the tank.

The gasket around the dash rides against the tank.

Can you snap a pic?

Huh. Mine didn't have those. Won't they hit the tank? I'd just cut them off with a cut off wheel if I was you.
