I really like the Upgraded 5inch Speedo/Tac HD has for the 5inch. I have the 4inch Console on my 2012 wideglide and was wondering how i would go about getting a 5inch speedo.

Could i swap Dash's out?
Do any Dyna have the same dash that can fit the Wideglide?
Do any Previous Wideglides years use the same tank that once had the 5inch.

Would i have to go a more custom route?

 

Talk to a local indy that everyone says is top notch. I set an appointment to get some apes put on and he said he would do a little research in his down time and give me some options when i go nextweek. Said they could probably fab something up.

 

What I wish is that you could put an old style dash, like a cat eye or the old 3 light on the WG. Best I could come up with is a cover style with a bezel.

 

I am doing the same thing on my 2013 Street Bob. Have ordered the parts and waiting for them. Will update once I complete it.

 

I've read that even though the tanks are different sizes, you can put a FXDC or FXDF dash on an FXDB or FXDWG. I think I read a thread recently where someone did that on their Street Bob. Sounds like ZeroThoughts is doing the same thing on his.

I'm going to be trading my Nightster for either a Street Bob or Fat Bob and was interested in the 5" Analog Speedo/Tach. I'm interested in seeing how this pans out since I may need to swap a dash if I end up going with the Street Bob.

Looking forward to seeing the results ZeroThoughts!

 

I got the parts and did the mod.
Some pointers.
As expected had to widen the console holder clamp, not a problem. But had to cut about 10 mm of the stud on the new console to reduce the gap between the console & the tank. Now there is a very small gap at the front part of the console nothing very obvious.
The biggest problem was that the 2013 Street Bob does not have a replaceable LED Module, its PCB is wired directly to the wire harness. So presently I am using the existing wire harness and hence no indicator LEDs on the console. They will work once I get the correct wire harness.
The part list with indicative prices:
The last part is NOT REQUIRED instead the PART No. required is 72667-12, about 85-90 US$.

Awesome! Post some pics when you can.

 

Back in 2010, I had the same thought -- I wanted the 5" tach/speedo combo to replace my 4" in my FXDB. So I did a write up on my experience of putting a FXDF/FXDC 5" console on a 2010 Street Bob.

Some of the wiring and part numbers will be different on the newer bikes, but the overall process should be very close. Here is a link to my original post:

Hope it helps!

I was doing some digging and I'm wondering if you could use the top plate from a Switchback (4.7 gallon tank and 5" dash) with the console from a Fat Bob, Super Glide, or Switchback on my Street Bob. It sure looks like the bolts would line up and it might not require bending the tabs or modifying the back side of the console. It sure would be nice if that was a direct bolt on combination.

I'm a bit tempted to buy these parts just to try:

TOP PLATE 75323-12 (2014 Switchback) $52
INSTRUMENT CONSOLE 70900346 (2014 Fat Bob) $155

 

I just bought the Autometer speedo/tach combo for my 99 WG. It looks great and only took about an hour to change.
