jreichart, that looks sweet. Can you read the speedo when your riding? How is engine vibration in relation to the gauges in that location?

The blackline that his dash came off. This is a stock slim dash without the ignition switch mounted in it.

That's the way the blackline should have came.
I bet it would have sold more !

With the winter temps here, I've only gotten a few shakedown rides in. So far, seems pretty good. I never really looked at the speedo much anyway, only a glance when i see that cop sitting in the median! I'll be able to review more once I get some miles on it. Love the clean tank though. I feel that's the one major design flaw to all Harley's, that chunky *** dash buggering up the smooth lines of the tank.

Not real fancy and cool like jreichart's but I like it. When I had my tins painted I had the painter paint a piece of thin metal to stick there...
