That looks good. Does it match your seat?

Not really. My seat is covered with black alligator.

I just don't understand why in the world Harley let this hit the market with an ugly cheap rubber for a dash.

Hey you guys, these are both really looking very nice! It's probably the ultimate look you can get out of that rubb(er)ish stock dash.
