Different Dash
Have a 2011 Fat Boy Lo and can't stand the big ugly brick looking POS square dash. Anybody have any ideas or options to replace it with something a little more sleek and rounded that looks like it was made in this century and will accept existing speedo.
My last bike was a 2003 FXST and I replaced it with a nice Dyna (no idea what year) one piece dash that I picked up used and it made a HUGE difference. Perfect fit, easy mod.

What size speedo? I know the bib would not work because the area at the tank / seat is different but I could always have one made I guess. Not sure about the difference in the idiot lights either.

Crossbones a good bet too.
Lights/dash connection would be the same, pre canbus, as is your 2011 Fatboy Lo.
2012 and later wiring loom is different, being canbus.
Crossbones or Slim bib addresses the bib thing.
Styling though is old school catseye style, modernised.
CORRECTION: 2011 Softail is Canbus, I stand corrected.

Problem solved. After hours and hours of looking finally found it. Simple swap, nothing needed to be changed other than it had to be powder coated and it does have the hole on the side witch I'll just buy the rubber button for it. Worth $200 bucks for me plus PC.
