Kuryakyn Instrument Cluster Gauge Bezel
The gauge cluster is the part of a motorcycle a rider looks at most, which makes it one of the most rewarding places to add custom detail. Kuryakyn has built a reputation in the V-twin and cruiser world for accessories that turn stock hardware into something personal, and its instrument cluster gauge bezels are a good example of that approach: small, focused upgrades that change the character of a dash without touching how the gauges work.
What a Gauge Bezel Does
A bezel is the trim ring or surround that frames a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge or voltage gauge. Stock bezels are usually plain and often finished in a utilitarian plastic. Aftermarket bezels replace or cover that trim with chrome, gloss black or satin black finishes that match the rest of a custom build, such as mirrors, levers, foot controls and engine covers. Because they are purely cosmetic, they are among the simplest ways to bring a cockpit in line with the rest of a bike.
Kuryakyn's Approach to Bezel Design
Kuryakyn was founded in Somerset, Wisconsin, by Tom Rudd, who saw an opening for high-quality chrome accessories for riders. That chrome-first heritage shows in its gauge trim, which has covered several distinct styles over the years:
- Deluxe gauge bezels with colored accents: Chrome-stamped rings paired with interchangeable santoprene accent inserts, so riders can add a splash of color that suits their paint. The large version was designed for Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, Road Glide, Street Glide and trike speedometers and tachometers from 2000 to 2013.
- Two-inch bezels for auxiliary gauges: Styles such as Twin Ring, Illiana and Chauvinist dress up the smaller fuel and voltage gauges.
- Tri-Line gauge trim: A one-piece design that surrounds all four gauges in the inner fairing of 2014-and-newer Harley-Davidson Touring and Trike models, with peel-and-stick installation and no tools required.
- Aztec gauge cluster accents: A grooved, beveled design in injection-molded ABS, offered in chrome or satin black and mounted with 3M VHB adhesive, styled to match Kuryakyn's Aztec collection for Indian.
Installation and Fit
One reason these parts are popular is how little effort they take. Most Kuryakyn bezels press on or attach with high-strength adhesive, so a cluster can often be updated in minutes. Fit is model-specific, so check the year range and gauge size, whether a two-inch auxiliary gauge, a larger speedometer or tachometer, or a full inner-fairing surround, before ordering. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and let adhesive cure as directed for the longest-lasting result.
Matching the Rest of the Dash
Bezels work best as part of a coordinated look. Kuryakyn designs companion pieces, such as stereo trim that matches its gauge trim, so the whole inner fairing can share one visual theme. Finish choice matters too: chrome pairs naturally with traditional bright-metal builds, while gloss or satin black suits darker, more modern customs.
