Default Cat eye Dash

I was wondering if anyone knows if the new dash design on a 2018 Deluxe will fit a 2015 Deluxe. I like the cat eye design much better than the stock dash tht came on the Deluxes prior to 2018.

Default I don't know

I'd be surprised if much of anything on the 18's would cross-fit much of anything on all the others.

Have you considered the FLS dash?

I would think a cat eye dash from a pre-2018 heritage would fit just fine. I recall a thread here discussing it. I think the hardest part was making a bracket to move the hold down bolt and nut a little.

no way, the new ones are keyless, just look. Pre-18 will fit with a little work.

The cat eye dash is soooo much better than the brick I had on my Fatty. Cleans up the tank a ton! One of the best and easiest mods I did.

My Lo has that dash....it is the sexiest dash Harley has come up with. It's plug 'n' play wiring wise. I swapped out my tank plate instead of making an adapter.
