Mine actually came with a leather panel. very nice , very nice indeed.

 

I agree with the plastic junk...... Went on E-Bay and found a laced leather panel that came off a Fatboy, bought it for $13.05 including shipping. Looks real nice on my standard. Kinda makes the consul and seat flow together. Very satisfied with it.

 

I'd like to look at the carbon ones, anybody know of a site?

 

Mines came with aleather one.
But I still found I had plenty of chit to replace.

 

Swapped my stock plastic panelout for a leather Fatboy panel, ran that for a while then swapped that out fora '07 Custom panel...night and day difference from that POS plastic.

 

Nightpork,
I 100% agree. I told the stealer to "throw one in" (like anything is really free from them). I told them the same thing...that piece o plastic is an embarrassment. It had the leather panel on ASAP. The thing is...this desert sun wilted that thing up in no time. I then put on the chrome panel (That comes on the 06 fattys). Been good to go ever since.

I think the plastic panel was a ploy to get you all in upgrade mode. Funny, they did away with the plastic panel on the '07 bikes!

 

I ditched my plastic panel for a studded leather tank panel with pouch to match the bags and seat.Looks a lot better but cant fit bugger all in the pouch though and the medallion they use aint chromed and now looks a bit dull- a bit of autosol fixes that though.

Still anything is better than the stocky.

 

fuc* chuck it an polish out the paint, or are you scared

 

One of my luckiest days at the stealership was finding a new leather panel on the clearance table with a $5 price tag. It made up for the three stupid looks and scratched heads when I asked about a headlamp trim ring. The catolog doesn't list one for a '93 FLSTF. I lucked out when a customer happened to have run into the same "problem" and assured me that the one listed for a '94 will fit.
