    Thanks I didn't know if they were screws or went into rubber grommets like the side panels

    ...............I'm the one who took it out..... if you do so and have the gauges in your dash , have a pair of needle nose pliers handy. It's much easier to get the wire connections off with them because BRP has very short wires........ Mike

    It is very easy like DeAnna mentioned. I had mine "hydrodipped" with a carbon fiber look.

    I found you have to turn the Handlebars all the way to the left to enable to get the front panel off.

    No I hadn't thought of painting until I saw yours. my plan was to put a couple of yellow light up near the top either side of the little emblem for turn signals. the green ones are so hard to see if the light shines on the dash. with out self canceling its herd to tell if they turn off after a lane change etc.

    Thumbs up

    I installed two turn signal lights on my dash. At 11 o'clock on left and 1 o'clock on right of the gauges. Worked out great. You need a fishing wire to run to the wires on the mirror. Good luck!

    ( Mike, blueknight911) painted my dashboard. Good luck with the yellow lights near the top on either side of the little emblem for turn signals.


    A lot of people on this site/and who have seen the dashboard in person, like my painted dash board. A shout out to Mike( Blueknight911) for painting my dashboard. Deanna

    It may sound tacky to some, but I'd like to get my dash panel tarted up to look like burled elm.

    (I know WrapMySpyder has some wood trim kits, but I'd prefer the whole dash panel to be simulated wood, not just the edges. Also, that's w-a-y to pricey for me.)

    Baxter,
    You can get various wood grains in the hydro dipping process.
    Just google hydro graphics to see. I have a local company that does it and it was only $40 which included painting a silver base coat before dipping and a Matt finish clear coat afterwards.
    Good luck!
