you may be able to fit a Low Rider one ( and pick up a tach) if not it could be removed bead blasted and chromed.

Contact a local chromer and take the dash to them.

You can find out whether they will strip the wrinkle finish off, or if you need to do it yourself. The dash is metal so it should not be a problem.

January bonus is comeing up and I need to get this done along with the flush mount caps. It will look awesome against my Vivid black.

There are some chromers on Ebay that have a wheel exchange program. I was going to contact them and see if they would want to start a program with the Bob dash.

Someone did the Lowrider dash and tach combo, but it was pretty expensive. I'm sure it would be cheaper to just have your's chromed.

dang man, you switched the handlebars out and now you want a chrome dash? Why not just get a lowrider in the first place?


(btw, it DOES look sharp)

Just coz I bought a Street Bob doen't mean it has to continue to look the way it did off the showroom floor. the Harley tradition has ALWAYS been to individualize your bike. I chose the Bob coz it had the basics I like and the price was right. I will continue to do everything I can to the bike to make it my own statement. it started as a street bob, now it is a MY Bob !!!! That's all I got to say 'bout that ! BTW, I ain't taking this serious....it's all in fun. I can't ever be mad when I'm on my bike, I have a s**t eating grin on from ear to ear !!!
