Can you convert a Street Glide to a Road King
Why downgrade?........................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..........................Just trying to get a rise outta you RK owners!
yes it can be done, RK wiring harness, tank panel with the speedo plus some odds and ends.
Check with your parts manager; they should be able to give you a list of all the things you will need.

For you guys who think putting a dash panel on to solve the speedo problem, yes that will work.
Now tell me how are you gonna put fuel in it, wih a dash panel on.
The fuel fill is in the tank panel on a Street Glide.
Okay you are going to buy a new dash panel and a gas tank also?
Anything can be done, but not very cost effective in my opnion.
If he wants a Road Glide, it looks like it would be a lot easier to trade for a Road Glide.

I agree it's going to be costly, but it can be done -- when I added up the cost to convert my SG to RG I quickly traded it in

You can get a gauge cluster from Dakota Digital that has everything you need in it. Speedo, tach, and all of the indicator lights. It runs about $500.00 and solves the issue of having to put a new tank and dash on the bike. A few pieces of chrome to cover the exposed areas behind the fairing you have now. Is it a true FLHR conversion? No, but it's pretty darn close. The flip side of that is that when you try to sell it or trade it, it's now a FLHTR kinda thing. Some potential buyers or dealers may not care, but most probably will.
Having said that, if you do the conversion, I wanna see pictures!
