    Superglide to.....?

    Need some help here folks.

    I purchased a set of tins off an '06 Dyna Low Rider. Speedo on h, twin caps, etc.

    My Super Glide has the Speedo on the bars, ignition on the frame neck.
    I can easily get a h for the Low Rider, but, I prefer to set it up as per the Wide Glide h, with the ignition on the h.
    My dealer can only talk part numbers.
    One guy finally opened up the book showing sketches.
    Seems that the openning in the tank is slightly different, and, the bracket that the h cover attaches to is shorter. (No problems spacing that out)

    I don't feel like buying costly parts that could end up on the shelf, so, trial and error is not an option.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks, 90

    Help me out here folks. If no one here can help...no one can!
    Can I set up a Low Rider Tank the same as a Wide Glide?

    Never tried it but I'm sure it can be done

    Kagan may be the one who has the part numbers for an 06, I have nothing yet

    Try asking in the Steel City Forums

    I did come across this thread a few days ago. Haven't been able to set any time aside to compare the two set-ups. I have no experience in converting these two, so I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Couldn't you ask something easier? Like explaining Einstein's Theory of Relativity?

    Too friggin' funny Kagan!

    I kinda knew you peeked at this one.
    I envisioned you sneakily sneaking away from the computer as not to let on that you read it.
    I am always up for a challeng but, this one stumps me.
    I know, for a fact, that you would be the one to find out if this set up is possible.[/i]

    Oh, this one's gonna be tricky alright.

    1. What year and exact model do you have? I need the 3 letters after 1HD1 in your VIN.

    2. You mention "I prefer to set it up as per the Wide Glide h"... but you have an '06 FXDL tank, right?

    You're asking if the speedo, ignition and console for an FXDWG will fit onto an '06 FXDL tank that's being mounted on an FXD.

    Did I get that right?

    Sounds like a heck of a project.

    I have an '06 FXDI Super Glide.
    The tins are off an '06 FXDL Low Rider.
    I understand that the Wide Glide tank is different, but, can any softail h fit the new tank?
    And, how messy will wiring it up be? The ignition is on the neck now. The key likes to fall out and under the bike when shut off. That's why I prefer to move it to the tank.

    The vin # is 1HD1GM1......Thanks

    OK. Just wanted to be 100% sure. I'll do some research tomorrow.
