Default Cateye Dash on a 2010 Deluxe
I had been wanting to put a Cateye Dash on my Deluxe for awhile now. A member here bought one but ran into some problems with his risers hitting it and offered me a deal on the parts.

I had to make a small bracket to move the mounting bolt down about an inch or so, but other than that it was a real easy install.

Here are some pics.









I sure wish Harley had finished the weld on the Tank. I would run it just the way it is in the pics if they had. My brother dabbles in leather work, and told me he will make me a panel for it...at least it won't be costing me anything!!!!

I like it, shame about the weld though. Looks good as is.

Thanks Betros!

I may price out having a shop clean up the weld and paint it too.

Not sure how much something like that would be, but I can always save up for it.

This is the first one I seen. I really like the looks. Leather would be a good option.....

Very cool! Maybe the weld looks worse in person but it doesn't look so bad in the photos.

Looks **** bro! I like it without the tank panel too. Weld really isnt that bad. Id run it that way and maybe price having it smoothed later on.

I will probably run it bare for awhile. Not only did Harley not finish the weld, they left a particle of some sort in the paint as well where the tank panel would cover it.

The weld does not look that bad like most of you say, but just think how nice it would look all cleaned up!!!

My guess is $300.00 to fix and paint it. Any other guesses?

When I bought my 09 deluxe, I saw the heritage had the cateyes, and I wanted to do it. Thanks for posting.

Viking, and idea what parts are involved compared to the stock dash that it replaces? i thought about doing this myself, i think it works better with the classic look of the Deluxe.
