It's a place holder for the oil temp gauge that they should have put in it in the first place....

Most dealerships here are smaller than the clothing department of the stateside dealerships I've seen, so their selection on parts is non-existent.

Good advice on the DIY blackout, Sidecar! I'm a cheap bastard, so I'll surely be giving this a shot!

I washed and dried the bike today for the first time since bringing it home. Took less than an hour. Waxing the fancy paint took another hour by itself, but I typically only do that about twice a year. Damn it's nice not having to worry about water spots.

I got the same highway peg brackets for my FXDX. Will probably end up painting them. At least my primary cover came in wrinkle black.
