How to black out your Tank gauge bezel

[@thomasjames9230]

One of the changes I did to my Fat Bob. The best thing about the change besides how much better it looks is how much glare is cut down in bright sunlight and you're not blinded while looking at your gauges.

[@Paul20661]

Cool,looks nice blacked out like that

[@robertlumsden942]

you are so right harley should have put the tape on it already. uggggh. but it does look really good. I was trying to decide on doing it and I think you convinced me. looks really good. good job.

[@chikoharley4942]

So simple but so effective. Looks so much better. 🇦🇺

[@harleydave2316]

Nice!! It's the little things that transform the bikes.

[@sheldonsaenz8731]

$75 ?!?! For just one ?! Hell nah H-D, Imma save my money and paint or Plasti dip it 🙅🏽‍♂️

[@geraldwilliams3898]

That part ya dig.

[@ridefitnation]

This looks great

[@dysfunctionalveteranforlife]

I had this part on my wish list since i bought my bike. I guess im taking it off the list now. I could’ve gotten over applying my own adhesives but not being able to powdercoat them to match the wheels is a deal breaker. Harley-Davidson be slackin’!! Anyways when you change out those two bolts, please take a video. Your bike is looking good though. Keep up with the content.

[@michaelconran5252]

looked on microfiche. The bezels are part of the tach & speedo. I'm planning on a Low Rider S this fall. I was planning on powder coating the bezels, looks like that might not be an option. $150 for 2 plastic rings??? I am sure someone else will have something out when I buy mine.

[@ericbennett2986]

A lot of money for those but honestly they look amazing bro, really completes the tank. 👍👍

[@Marvelkid87]

Yea I know fuck it right lol

[@ericbennett2986]

@@Marvelkid87 haha exactly looks killer

[@8242anthony]

Looks great i put them on mine I also went with the flush mount gas caps you might want to consider them they look awesome and makes for a nice clean look on the bike

[@gertklay]

Bike looks awesome!! love it! I searched for an install video on this and I'm shocked about the flimsy way it has to be installed. I like the looks, but I hate the way it has to be installed...

[@larrikinlancer685]

Question is can I still take the gauges off? I plan on painting my tank soon.

[@daltonwomack2165]

@MarvelKid87 does Harley make these in chrome? Maybe the chrome ones would be cheaper and you could just paint or plasti-dip those as opposed to buying straight black at their price?

[@stefdebeule8646]

Any link whare i can find them?

[@raiderdad4life215]

Was looking into these! I’m also worried that the stickiness would wear out during summer months. Crazy expensive but might just get it with Christmas gift cards this year lol!

[@mektrik]

Another great video, nice work! Looks good for a small addition.

[@joshuathopper]

One thing I meant to comment was that I’d use 3M trim tape if you want it to stay on

[@ka1mla1]

Now you have to swap out those hideous chrome screws between the gauges. Pretty sure they are 1/4-20. I did black screws on my 2020 Fat Bob.

[@Marvelkid87]

Yea I’m planning on it

[@coinop12]

Now that looks very nice!!!

[@davidpayne8898]

That was easy !! Looks really effective as well. Might have to invest in some myself. But I may look around for a cheaper option

[@kennyej2092]

Plasti Dip, much easier and its only 12 dollars.

[@EasyRiderGreg]

I'd look for an aftermarket product that was a lot cheaper. I wonder how long that plastic will hold up in the sun. It looks great though.

[@eladiovelez2760]

Nice look but what I’m going to do when I get my risers I will be relocating my gauges to the bars. You’re bike is looking good bro.

[@vicentemendoza178]

That was my next project on my bike but I think ill save my money and spray paint them! HD in some stuff goes above and beyond on quality and looks and other times it’s just feels like you are getting ripped off! Gato por liebre! If you know what I mean!

[@joshuahopper4543]

You think that’s bad. That’s how the flush mount gas cap and decorative cap on the other side go on. Just 3m tape

[@Marvelkid87]

Just bullshit they need to find other alternatives

[@joshuahopper4543]

MarvelKid87 at least on that one it’s precut. That’s one of my next addons. The back caps stick out on the barracuda silver

[@Lasnoe]

When is the 131ci going in?? 😉😝

[@Marvelkid87]

I wish

[@fxlrsnz8364]

Cant get the 131ci for the low s

[@Lasnoe]

@@fxlrsnz8364 ahhh that's right... well maybe soon. 👍

[@spencerb8609]

Looks good but HD is lame for not having double sided tape. SMDH!!!

[@Marvelkid87]

Tell me about it

[@turtle19dad]

Or at least some sort of glue/Gorilla Glue.

[@vraimondi]

Agree with your comments on HD...are they friggin serious?? Not acceptable.

[@geraldwilliams3898]

Man they look good bro, but that was my first thought. How much was HD, and plastidip all day.

[@panzer_jl_8149]

Looks fuego my g 🤘🏻

[@Lasnoe]

Plastic?!?!?!?!?! I'd keep it the way it came just on principle.

[@bobhog3969]

I got the dual gas cap from Harley and I was surprised as it was basically the same thing. The left cap is just stuck with double sided tape 🤦‍♂️

[@joshuathopper]

Amazing how much stuff on one is stuck on

[@rolandos64]

What a Rip off by HD!!!! But you are right. We keep doing it! Anyhow. Makes me wonder if hot glue would have worked. I only ask because the mirrors are held by hot glue.

[@MrStress026]

It does come with tape yours obviously was missing . I like the look but the price is crazy .

[@paulsmale5436]

Dude you can buy a pair in anodised black alloy from china with tape inside for $20

[@twistieslayer3592]

Harley Davidson's business moto. If they want it bad enough, they'll pay that price. I paid $55 for one rear axel nut cover and $35 for the front axel covers. So i feel your pain.

[@geraldwilliams3898]

Waymin rough up with sand paper and spray paint lol.

[@rahowardjr]

whats wrong with chrome...hahaha the blackout look does look awesome though

[@charlie12590]

Love your channel bro👍 Can’t stand HD for their BS. Not to mention they get it from China. Nonetheless keep putting out those vids

[@JarheadSixRides]

Wow that is a crazy amount of money.

[@thomass789]

STUPID CRAZY!

[@nevillegreg1]

Buying Harley stuff means paying the Harley tax. It's a known fact of life. Nonetheless, it makes sense for the FXLR S to have come stock with the black gauge bezels. Of course, it's typical of how HD rips off its customers. And what a shame that HD to have made such great progress with the M8 Softails, brilliant frame and a very good mono shock only to stuff it up with a rear brake that truly lacks feel and power. I'm not a fan of the all blacked out look, but those black gauge bezels is a massive cosmetic improvement on your bike.

[@ERICLnj]

lol thats crazy 75 cent ring

[@jobeta22]

You know that you can check the instructions on the website before you buy.

[@larrycarvano3947]

You could have used silicone to it would have worked that’s what I did

[@MrCrispusAttacks]

It baffles me they black this bike out yet leave small chrome accents like those bezels, frustrating to say the least. I think chrome is tacky af, I took every bit of it off of my 2019 Tacoma.

[@michaelconran5252]

Harley made the bike 95%. They know they can get more $$$ from you on blacked out parts.

[@lowriderST24]

I bought mine of Amzon, same thing for 30$. It's just a metal ring.

[@3percentmick705]

150 is a rip off! Especially for plastic. Looks good but damn.

[@PkwyDrive13]

They're actually anodized aluminum

[@3percentmick705]

@@PkwyDrive13 still a rip off lol

[@udaybakshi]

tbh the chome looked better..

[@PkwyDrive13]

They're made out of aluminum BTW.. Not plastic, but they're definitely over priced and online they say they have self adhesive... Lies!

[@michaelconran5252]

They do, you just got to cut it and add it yourSELF. Self adhesive

[@pb6769]

I don't see the holing up to the weather. waste of money

[@8610sarge]

They rip riders off all the time. To pay that amount of money and then find out you cannot even fit it without spending more time and more money, it does look the business though, I wish the after market companies would pull their fingers out and start making things like bezal covers for these new softails. How hard would it have been for harley to have a grub screw fixed into it, it really does piss me off how they charge so much money for something so simple, they know we will pay it though 🤬🤬, but it definitely improves the look of the bike.

[@fxlrsnz8364]

I agree 💯 check out my vid on my home made Harley part 😄 Thier option wasnt good enough so i made my own

FIRST!!!!

[@opserc10475]

GTFOH!! $150 for that crap?? Nah I'm good. I actually was hoping they came out with Bronze Dominion collection rings. No es pa' tanto.

[@michaelconran5252]

That is a good look also. Thought about bronze accents.

[@opserc10475]

@@michaelconran5252 they should. It would be a good contrast. I have a few in mine.

[@drsparwaga]

Qualitatively, this is rather poor and cheap from Harley. They can’t possibly expect customers to just tape a product on. This tape is flimsy and doesn’t last forever. Surely a simple screw solution could have done the trick.

[@macdaddy.cycles2289]

H-D sucks Buy from Drag specialists

[@thomass789]

I NEVER buy from HD unless there is just no good aftermarket alternative. They have the right to charge whatever they want, and we have a responsibility as smart consumers to shop around.

[@jasonfig5]

You have part numbers or a link?

I don’t find anything I liked
