RE: tank console

If you want to add a tach, you can use the replacement chrome console for the lowrider. I believe it is the same tank as the streetbob.

RE: tank console

You will most likely have to do what I am planning to and send the console to a chrome plater.

I plan on doing mine over the winter months. I think I may see what it would cost to do my primary and other covers also...I think it would have to be cheaper than buying chrome ones.

By the way, the console on the Bob is metal...jut painted with a wrinkle finish.

Has anyone chromed a Street Bob console yet?

Yep,there's a thread around here somewhere about it. Best I can remember it cost the guy a hundred and a half on a buddy deal and it was worth more cause the metal took a lot more smoothing than he had planned on.

Good Luck

RE: tank console

That was me.

Cost was $125. The guy said the metal under the wrinkle finish isn't smooth...he had to do some work on it.

It is well worth it and i think it just makes the bike.
