Default 2020 Road King Special - flush-mount fuel gauge

Hey folks,

I have a '20 FLHRXS and I'm looking to de-chrome the tank as much as possible, so that means a black fuel gauge and cap. What I'm really after is a gloss-black version of the stock gauge, but since that doesn't exist, I'm looking at the Flush Mount kit from HD - 75027-08D. For some reason, HD lists this as compatible with the 17, 18, and 19 FLHRXS but not the '20. I called and talked to someone in Parts, and they basically said they think it will work with the '20 but it's not "certified". Worst case, I can just return it if it doesn't work, but I was wondering if anybody has installed this gauge on a '20?

As a side note, if anyone knows where or how to get a gloss black version of the factory gauge housing, please give a shout...

Thanks!

Looks GREAT! did you take the “guts” out of the fuel gauge housing to paint it? Or just mask it? What kind of paint?

Be damned if I could get the guts out of the fuel gauge so I masked it off. I painted the caps with base coat clear coat rattle cans. In fact I painted the whole bike with rattle cans.
