the line in the end of the dash and size matches the stitching in the seat,

Hey man, that is looking super sweet! Can't wait to see the final product.

How did you make that dash? That is really nice. I'm almost betting if that's a one off you could make and sell something like that. I know I'd be interested.

it is a one off,started out with a big cube of surfboard foam,shaped it to the look i was after and then started to fiberglass sections,i was thinking about pulling a mold off of it,i would have to include a ball peen hammer and a x to wack the tank to clear the tach,why harley had to make it so long i will never know,also had to cut the bottom back of the speedo to clear the fuel pump plate,it did not want the dash tall,short as possible,,,
