Folks, I'm building a softail chopper on a Kraft/Tech frame with a pair of stretched tanks. At this point I have no dash or dash panel.

So, I'm thinking of using a tasteful cover where the dash would be because I really have no use for a dash or gauges (other than maybe a fuel level gauge).

Does anyone make these? Would you go dash or no dash?

 

Since your building why not just patch it up and relocate the fuel system to under the tank?

 

Yep, I thought about patching it up. Or maybe someone sells a patch that can be installed and uninstalled easily.

They are nice tanks and they came with the aircraft-style locking fill caps. Those I kind of like.

 

Not sure which dash mounting style your tank has, but this might work. Scroll down a few items and you'll see the "Washington Choppers "Fat Bob " Gas Tank Custom DASH COVER". It doesn't work with newer harley tanks, so I ended up having to make my own because I couldn't find any other options.

Thx.

The frame is a Frame/Tech softail with all the tabs. The tanks are a stretched pair of tanks that mount to the standard frame tabs.

I do not think the tanks are newer. But being stretched the off-the-shelf cover might not be long enough.

 

Most "stretched" tanks are just longer on the sides...the distance in the middle is unchanged.
