well I've been trying to decide what to do on my dash, i had the blackline dash and just kinda wanted to keep my speedo with the Carlini risers I wasn't able to run my speedo on the bars so I swapped back to the stock dash for now. I think I'm going to eventually run the slim dash but for now I've already relocated my ignition and coil to the middle of the motor on my Night Train.. I got in touch with DK and had them make me a custom little insert to delete my factory ignition. Turned out good, just gotta get it engraved and painted.
Super happy with the speed of DK and willingness to work with me.
I have the Slim/Crossbones dash on my Fat Boy Lo...it looks modern old school, better than the old Skull and Cateye of yesteryear.
A newer Slim/Cross dash doesn't have the ignition switch, it looks even cleaner, smoother. Might be a perfect look for the style you got going. You'll have to get a new tank plate due to the different stud location.

Yeah I really dont want to change the tank, but that plug DK Customs made me will make it pretty smooth or smooth enough for me. I was looking into that slim/cross dash and looks like the mounting stud is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch difference from our tanks. What did you do to get the stud in the right location, buy a new fuel pump mount (top plate) for the top of the tank? Thanks in advance!
The top plate bolt location is about an inch different. The biggest problem is finding the parts, they are rare. I made an automated eBay search and it took a few months. I don't think I spent more than a couple hundred.
Dash, top plate, carriage bolt, instrument lights, and you may need a different speedo retainer. I have a Dakota gauge so that didn't apply here. Plug n play. No wiring problem.
I fixed a dent in the tank, removed the badges, and smoothed over the center. The good thing about Harley gloss black is that it is simple, your denim probably isn't.
I'll make a urethane mold trim piece for the gap under the tip of the dash where the panel is absent, make it look factory. I have a black switch that I need to re-key if I can figure that out. I also have a black bezel for the gauge. Slowly coming around to what I want.
Bike is rarely that clean, just changed the oil and removed a screw from the center of my rear tire. I tend to only wash things before I have to work on them. Hope that helps!
