wide glide tank for my FXD 2003

Hi all,
I have a 2003 FXD and I'm looking to get rid of that ugly speedometer.
I considder 2 options:
-a flipped over speedometer: does anyone has suggestions?
-another tank, from a wide glide or a super glide custom. Will this fit without any adjustments.

The color of my bike is Gun Metal Blue (100th anniversary edition).

So If anyone will sell parts or can tell me where to buy them (online because I'm from Belgium), please let me know.

Greetings,
de

I cut my speedo bracket support off, repositioned it with the bracket facing in reverse from where it had been and re welded it. There is a picture that I moved to the fromt of the thread listed as Dash Modification by Rickr01. Some others have had luck with a sportster custom bracket but this was my solution and it positioned it right where I wanted it. Much less expensive then a new tank and complete dash. Less then $20.00 if you have somebody else weld it for you. Then rattle can the mount whatever color you want. I went back to Harley texture black and a few light coats of clear in the rattle can. I also got tired of my stock speedo fogging and went with a Dakota Digital speedo.
