STREET GLIDE • FLHX • FLHXS
Street Glide owners have no shortage of upgrade choices. Bars, audio, lighting, paint, seats and wheels can transform the motorcycle, but the stock gauges often stay exactly as they left the factory. On an older FLHX or FLHXS, updating the gauge appearance can be the detail that makes the cockpit finally look as custom as the rest of the bike.
From the rider’s seat, the gauges are one of the most visible factory components. A coordinated gauge design can work with the fairing, bars, controls and stereo instead of fighting them. That is especially noticeable on bikes that have already been blacked out, painted or converted to a strong color theme.
A full custom set can combine stainless faceplates, artwork, LED color changes and needle details. For riders who want something simpler, an LED-only color change can update the nighttime look while keeping a more factory-style face.
The 2006–2013 Street Glide generation uses the earlier six-gauge Touring layout. Because all six gauges sit together, a matched set has a big visual effect. The 2014 and newer Touring layout uses four gauges and can also be customized as a coordinated set.
A good upgrade plan repeats what is already working on the motorcycle. Paint color, pinstriping, brushed metal, chrome, black, logos or graphics can all provide direction. The goal is not to make the gauges louder than the bike. It is to make them look like they belong there.
