I watched a video and it showed the metal piece /plate underneath the plastic needs to be swapped as well?
Nope that is BS and sales strategy from HD, as you can see earlier in this post it is not needed and you can make a braket that replace the tapped hole to bolt the new console on.

Yes, If you want this to be a bolt-on swap, you DO NEED part number 60900001. ....don't know why the other guy (MoneyFor) said you didn't.
Read this thread. The very first post includes ALL of the correct part numbers.
Agreed for a bolt-on swap you need that piece but it is rediculous to buy that part in my opinion, that is a easy fix as shown in the picture. In belgium is that plate stupid expensive as said before.

If u don't wanna start manufacturing your own parts you WILL need the top plate. That's NOT a sales strategy of the MoCo as the Blackline console was never intended to be installed on the Breakout. Suggesting this is major BS, period.
That top plate costs $187,00 in Belgium, you do not have to be a machinist to make a piece of metal with 2 holes in it that is going to set you back $5,00 or so.
A saving of $182,00 is a big difference and a lot more gas to ride the bike But each one make the choise for their own buy it or make it.

Jeremyreed - the new guy asking about the swap - AIN'T BELGIAN.
Jeremy, if you're gonna do the swap, don't Mickey Mouse it. Use all of the correct parts.
I did the swap on my bike. Before swapping out the top plate, I eyeballed the new console over the Breakout top plate. Rigging it to work wasn't worth the effort. The correct top plate is about 80 bucks. Get it.

NSR, I follow your opinion, as said each to his own.
I have time and money but if I can make something work without spending more money then needed I will do so, and I'm not Dutch but Flemish but I just have the time to do so and I own a complete machine shop to.
My parts are on order, if I get them I will post a picture set of the install and Jeremy do as you prefer, 80bucks or 187bucks is a big difference and it save you some time.
For me is time nothing, the only thing I do is drive the bikes that I own or work on them if I'm not on the shooting range

Well then, knock yourself out amigo...and send me a MAG receiver
I have been looking for a few hours now and I cannot seem to find these parts. Newcastle has none in stock, per their list. Thunderbike apparently has this stuff but they want (if I am not mistaking) close to 400$ USD for just the console, not including the other parts. Does anybody have any recommendations as to were to turn next?

Boardtracker H-D lists the console. I didn't check each part required for the swap...
