Have you guys seen any "short" dashes? Instead of the long dash that goes the whole length of the tank I'd like something that stops just below the ignition switch. I tried searching and I made post about it a couple weeks ago, but no luck. Any specific other model's dashes that would fit a Dyna?

Just off the top of my head (no research)...I think the short dash dynas use the larger speedo, but might be able to make a reducer ring, if the dash even fits the contour (I think some tanks are slightly different, again...haven't researched)
I know the Road King dash I put on my Wide Glide had a different tank contour. Took a little "doing" but I got it to fit.
I made a bracket to use the LeatherPros CB3000 studs on the left side with a solo bag (this one is a LaRosa).
The LeatherPros use a visegrip like clamp. This uses a single tiewrap through the top holes (bottom is slotted) to keep the bar from hopping the screw head on the stud. Seems to work great.
If I want to go on a trip I cut the tiewrap and the bar comes off with the bag, then pop on the LeatherPros. When I get back just pop off the LeatherPros, pre-start a new tiewrap, slide on the bar with the bag, and tighten/trim the tiewrap.
Here it is prior to cleanup and paint:
Back of the bar:
Oh yes, I also used a piece of shock cord with a hook on the lower part of the bag. The hook connects to the shock and keeps the bottom of the bag centered and not rubbing on the swingarm.
I'm really happy with the way it turned out, even though I did seriously run the paint (but only on both exposed sides, the bottom and back are flawless )
That leather tank bib is a separate part. Not required. Notice the unfinished weld fillet running down the center of the tank. The tank bib covers that and the weld fillet at the crotch of the tank. I, personally, can't stand the unfinished weld and also can't stand the tank bib. That leaves me with few easy options. Some folks don't mind it. Just wanted you to be aware.
