looking at the inside of my 2011 there is wiring already behind the console and i am sure you can pick up a power  from it

thanks

[Buy early]

I'm kinda hoping that maybe the ordering was automated and the part will just get added to the list and ordered.....then it will come in, match up to my order and they send it to me....of course all the planets will have to be in alignment for this to happen but it was worth a shot.

Or you can pick up a VIN number from a show floor model or, eventually, one for sale on ebay or chopper exchange and order from a dealer that way. This stuff is all doable.

In the past on some items, they would make you turn in the part that you were replacing or else you didn't get the new 'protected' part.  Some dealers (like Jenni) didn't require that.....   spyder

have you seen the price of those parts , its like $120 for the lamp and $93 for the insert, and over here in the u.k we pay about the same in pounds , Expensive

Cheaper than trading in the bike

Sadly it is restricted

If these are the parts needed that are marked on the list, I have just done an Internet order here in the UK & total cost of parts are £206.00.  All part numbers went through to basket & nothing flagged up as being restricted !

Getting a mate in the states to get a quote from Harley dealer, so will post up how he gets on

I would think insert will be same as 2011 and the wiring is all there as well only need to get light and plug in.
I may be wrong but just a guess.

The part number of the insert is different from the 2011 and the 2012. The console is the same.

Update from my mate in the states, the fuel tank insert is vin protected & not only do they require the vin number for the bike they also want the original part back before they will hand over the item  .
Have not tried to complete order online at UK dealer as I'm sure they will require the same. However the lamp assembly is on back order with no release date, so reckon the moco are already onto this mod for 2011 models.
So back to the drawing board on how to achieve this mod. Any ideas ?

find vendor that makes the plastic piece, get custom lettering on the stock blank.

contacted my local dealer and he is trying with my vin number , the original 2011 insert will not let any light through , prices quoted in uk pounds are £110.00 for the insert and £142.00 for the light , bloody expensive that

 Cost online of all parts from UK dealer is £206.00 so a little cheaper ! Have not tried to order yet though.

I took my 2011 console off, the bottom of the insert is painted black. I sanded with some fine sandpaper, the lettering and logo are under the black paint and seem to be silk screened to the underside of the insert. I think if sanded carefully to expose but not remove the lettering then touch-up (cover) the exposed surrounding background the led light will show through translucent lettering and logo. It will take some time and careful work but it can be done. I have pictures of the sanded bottom side of the insert But for some reason they wont upload. There also is a 12V harness under the console which looks like it would plug into the 2012 light assy.  I am off to Sturgis so I will be continuing the quest when I return.
