Good question,
I’m about to enter the market for the exact same part. I’m getting my 79 FXEF painted right now.

Pretty sure the one John showed mounts to the handlebars on an FXE or sporty.

Thanks guys. I've always seen this one referred to as the "Low Rider" dash. My progress on the bike has been stalled buy work related injury/surgery but I'm continuing to do what I can.
