Default Swapping out FB lo dash need help?

I just bought me the all black Nite train dash console to install on my FB lo..I took the old one off yesterday & looking underneath it..damn there is a lot of wires & crap in there!..

My question is for any of you who did this swap , is it as complicated as it looks? or not that bad? any help greatly appreciated & I do have the service manual if needed..

I've never done that exact model. But I would think it would be plug and play.

I've had one off before, wasn't off my Lo, but I'm pretty sure these are plug and play just like the older ones were. Good luck, let us know how it goes. I've been thinking of installing that one on my Lo also.

No, it's just a blacked out console, rather than the satin one that's on the FatBoy Lo.

Unplug all of the plugs and put it back together. It is really simple as you really cannot mess it up. The plugs are all specific to the otehr side of the plugs if that makes sense. Put a towel or blanket over the tank to lay the dash on while unplugging and plugging back in on the new dash to keep from scratching it.
