Default Need some help with my 2012 FLSTC dash

I've been looking everywhere for a full length dash or dash extension for my 2012 FLSTC and cant find one anywhere. The only one I found was a custom one where I had to get it chromed or painted and also would have to relocate the ignition to the left side just above the horn cover. It wasnt for me! I really dont like the style of dash thats on my bike AT ALL and would really like to get my hands on a more traditional style with either a flat bottom where it meets the tank bib or even better a full length dash. Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Is there maybe another dash from another year's model or even a different model that might fit? I'm open to all suggestions.

They changd the tank style in 2009. Why wouldn't someone make a workable aftermarket tank dash. Or even an extension the full length of the tank? It's been 5 years already. What's the holdup?

I have a 2009 tank and bought the HD low custom full dash. Looks great? My bike is an 07 with a 09 tin set.

Hey ShortsNSandals would you be able to post a few picks from some different angles? I dont get it becasue I believe the 09 tank was the year they changed the design to accomodate the Cat Eye style dash which is the one I have and dont like. But the dealer told me the low custom dash wouldnt fit my 2012 Heritage which I think still has that same tank they changed to in 09.

I put a dash panel from a 2011 blackline on my 05 train. Only issue I had was the mounting point at the seat because the seats are different. The rest of the dash fit the contour of the tank just fine. Don't know if that helps at all...

If you are talking about the leather bib, the options are only limited to your wallet. I had a custom piece made by sun dog leather. I have since sold it but it was awesome. I drew him up a template of the stocker with measurements and he went from there
