What console equipped tanks fit a Super Glide?
I've got a buddy with an '07 Super Glide who is looking to get rid of his handlebar mounted speedo, and switch to a tank with a console.
Could he just purcahse a Super Glide Custom or Street Bob tank with a console, or are the mount locations going to be an issue?
If you've done something similar to your Super Glide, or can point me toward a thread with some info, I'd appreciate it.

I switched out my tank 07 superglide to a street bob and the low rider tank will work I'm pretty sure. I used a thread call" moved my speedo from the bars" I think. Any way do a search there's a bunch of threads on this. I got the tank and guages from ebay and the other stuff from Zanotti's

Yep. I hate my speedo mounted on the bar too. I've searched high and low, and it seems you can only gotwo ways with the superglide. Get a speedo that's less obtrusive, like a Dakota Digital with different mount suggestions to clean up the front of the bike, or get a different tank and console gauges, which to me at this time would be pretty costly. Tank, gauges, color matched paint. Sometimes, I wish I was a rub. Glad I'm not, though.

Like my "ugly speedo" most the time.I looked into changing out for new lowrider tank, etc. last year, and was lookin at spending around $1600 (not).
Have you looked into the Dakota mirrors?? Speedo, tach, and all indicators are in the mirrors.

You guys may want to consider using a 2004 to present Sportster Custom speedo setup with risers like I did. It lowers the speedo without the major investment and trouble to go with a whole new tank. I got the whole setup with wiring harness on Ebay used and it was a lot cheaper than new. It only took me half a day to install and everything was plug and play- no major modifications. On the plus side it gve me enough room to add a windshield bag.

Here is the whole thread with pics. I have been happy with it so far but I would sure like to lengthen the handlebar wiring and go internal.

That is what I wanted to do, too, but I ended upchroming the stock setup and adding mini-apes (after being told repeatedly it wouldn't work and beforefinding this forum). Turns out I'm happy with how mine turned out, but I still really like the Sportster Custom setup. I learned some time agoto ignore most of what the guys at the dealer say BTW.
