Default RK Custom Dash on a RK or RK Classic ?????

Is it possible to fit a '07 RK Custom Dash to any of the other RK models of similar build, not sure what year changes were made prior to '07 and if this Dash will also fit earlier models? If so, are there any other issues with fitment as far as Speedo, warning lights, etc., any problems I might run into trying this swap? Did a search but came up empty, please post a link if you know of a thread on this.
Thanks and any advise would be appreciated.

The Customs dash is longer, if it bolts up to another bike, ( I think it may) you will have to modify the nose of the seat. I had to take apart my solo, and reshape the pan to fit the dash on my bike.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say, you already have a RK Custom right? Did you put a different seat on from a different model or for a model other than the Custom?
Are the tanks different between a RK or RK Classic and the RK Custom?

The seats that will work with the customs dash are very limited. Other than the stock FLHRS seat the only other one I know of that will fit is a Corbin. If you change to a FLHRS dash you will have to change or modify seats. I disliked the stock seat, and the Corbin. To use a seat I liked I had to customize. Something you would have to deal with if you choose to swap dashes.

Anyone else swap out the Dash on their RK or RKC for the RK custom style Dash?
