Default Tank console ideas, lets hear'em

Not that i completely dislike the factory console, but i was looking for options. here's what i have so far.

1) color match the factory console

2) HD chrome console

3) HD low profile console (though im not sure if the spun aluminum speedo fits in there)

any other ideas? aftermarket customs? hit me with your thoughts fellas!

Chrome low profile console. This will make a huge difference in the looks of you tank...It makes the stock one look like a box...

Thks Drew, ive had my eye on that one but wasnt sure if the spun alumimum 5" speedo would fit under the bolt on cover. it LOOKS like it would, im not a fan of the oem nostalgic speedo.

Put the same tank console on my '02 when HD first offered them in the catalog. A little expensive but a new look that can't be denied. The chrome finish is awesome. Hard to believe it's an OEM accessory. You won't be disappointed.

I put this one on mine, not sure what type of look you are going for.



I still need to find something cool for tank leather to cover up the weld Harley just had to leave.

I bought this one because the catalog said it would not fit my bike.

I don't run a speedo, and moved my ignition, so I just needed to cover the fuel pump access panel. Buddy of mine made this for me.

I'm running an Arlen Ness product. Similar to Fatbouy's above.
