Default Blacking out the dash....

I am wanting to put a black gauge bezel or "dash" on my fat boy lo......I'm liking the black dash on the slim, as well as the leather accent that runs down the middle over the looks of the ones on my stock tank. Anybody know where a guy can get these pieces? I believe I saw a blackline a week back or so that had a slim gauge setup on it. Any input? Much appreciated!

Try spraying it in Plasti- dip.

Nothing but bad luck with plasti dip but some love it and it is easy to peel off if you don't like it

You could just buy a dash at the dealer, I think the slim tank is the same as other softails. I just rattle canned mine. Took it apart, mask off the clear stuff, scuff the chrome, prime and paint. Did mine a satin black.

I'm really digging the "cateye" dash that comes on the slim, as well as the leather tank bib. Does anyone know how much or where to get one?

I like to do leather work so I made my dash cover out of Deerskin leather, then used contact glue to hold it on. Did it 3 yrs ago and still holding on.
