I wanted to throw it out there with a word of caution.
I was trying to use an old Dyna bucket I had. Not the 2018+ version.

Can’t even buy Harleys day maker headlight to put in there since there’s no bucket or mount to fit.

This one doesn't seem like it is pointed low though?
Will be interesting to see if this works with the stock FXLRS fairing like Baseballbeck17 wanted to do.

Not without modifying something. But the fairing could be moved up, or maybe the headlight mount trimmed down, or a combo of both?

yea not gonna happen without some custom mods at home. Which I’m not able to do... I heard there’s a company in the process of making a mount and bucket that sits like stock for Harley fairing. I’ll post once they get them finished and I get it installed. Fingers crossed

Stock

Looks similar to stock mount. This is a sample

Sample of what they are making

That is a great idea that I'm sure a bunch of people will buy.

do you know if anyone makes a completed tank console (dash) once the gauge have been removed? Don't have experience with fiberglass work to fill the gauge holes. Thanks ..

I pretty much knew the moment I started it up, I was "home". While the 2020 is a better machine in all areas you can put on paper, it just never had the "soul" my old bike did. I missed it sorely and when I saw this one I had to have it.

I bought it knowing I would sell one of the two, but I had to try. And I made my decision. So, thanks for all the help here, and I wish you all well, but I'm a dyna guy, once again.

A local member here is getting a great deal on my better then new bike. I'll let him introduce himself if he chooses to.

Good luck all.

Say hello to my little friend...

She's a beauty, Mchad. I still haven't sold my Dyna SuperG - not in any way comparable to your new bike - and still enjoy riding her. But something's gotta go and both the Dyna and the Busa will when the CORONA-bans are lifted.

Good luck with your new scoot. Let the modifications begin!

Default Dash console

This is what I did with mine. The dash is a Harley Blackline dash and the gauges are Street Bob digital. Tank mounted dash brackets need to be modified.
