Default Road King Console Options

Hi all, I have a 2012 RK and don't care for the console/dash (plus mine has some mystery dings) and I'm curious what options there are. I've seen the fancy options like from Yaffe that you paint to match, but i'm wanting to keep the stock speedo and general placement so i don't have to do major surgery. The new cvo console is nice enough, but is that something that would even work on my bike, or that i can even get ahold of?

My only suggestion is to NOT buy a complete chrome console. When the sun hits that big flat plate of happiness it'll blind the snot out of you! It sure looks pretty but when it lights up you have a hard time seeing the road.

Very true, that is why I would want to look for something different too.

I looked around and there's not a lot of options. That Bagger Nation one is nice, but expensive.

I have one from Pro1; it sits on top of the stock unit. It's just a milled piece of steel, that is chromed. I'm thinking about having it anodized lighter shade of black.

I think I'm just going to get my console powder coated.

Have an '07 RK with stock console. Never been a problem and I like the looks. I think you can find leather covers at JP Cycles that look cool too if you want to go that way.
