Not a close up and the angle doesn't really show that the area around the speedo and sides that are black on the OEM console are textured to match the tank piece.

A few here... http://www.coolsac.com/Browse.aspx?g...de=ACCESSORIES

Cheaper than the HD... I've been eyeing the basket weave one but been out of stock for a while.

If I can find a Vivid Black Insert on Black Friday in Myrtle Beach S.C. while visiting for Thanksgiving, I will buy it and post Pics and a review of it. I called around in Charlotte, N.C. and the only place that had one was the Charlotte Harley Davidson, but someone had called and put it on hold. If its not bought in 1 week they will release it to general stock for sale. I too was wanting to replace mine and was upset about the swirls in it and scratches from wiping it off with chrome wax on the rag.

P.S. There is a new Harley Dealership in Shallotte, N.C. near Myrtle Beach that is kick butt that I will also visit along with the 3 Myrtle Beach Dealers.

Dennyo thanks but that's the tank insert. I meant the console insert. In 99 they offered a leather surround for the speedo that had studs on it. It's not offered for the softail anymore. If you can find one, let me know. I've been looking for two and a half years now and can't find one.

Well, me and the wife went to all the nearby Harley Dealers (Myrtle Beach) and it was a NO GO. None of them had it in stock. We even went up to Wilmington N.C. to the dealer there and they did not have it either. I talked to the guy at the parts counter and he said that the replacement scratches just as easy as the stock one. I guess I will get one off ebay or wait and see if I can get the one in Charlotte N.C. thats on hold for a customer, if not picked up. The guy at the parts counter said to always use a moist cloth to clean the console. I told him it's to late now to tell me that, mine is scratched bad already. I will be leaving here and heading home soon, now that Thanksgiving is over and my vacation is coming to an end.

I don't have a good pic of both the insert and the tank pad.
The skulls on the insert kinda match the skulls on the Night Train tank logo.

Does your new insert with logos seem to be tougher than a stock console sticker? Or was your console metal when it was stock? My stock console insert scratches if I wipe it just a little to hard. And UTZ is having the same problem.
