Mine did too - your heater core is gone it appears. Its a common issue.
The entire dash needs to be removed to replace it.
I started removing the instrument cowlings then worked my way across the dash to the speaker covers etc. MARK WHERE THE SCREWS GO!!! You might find an extra screw leftover when you put it all back together.

Everything needs to come out, lucky its a VL and not a VN, take out every screw you see and put em in a container, glovebox, radio surround, steering surround 10 mil bolds with a lil extension bar, the inner dash is one big piece, its not so hard once you get into it.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have all mine apart currently, I removed the A/C & was thinking about just keeping the heater/demister in the middle for cleaning up the window
I could remove the heater lines as well to neaten up the engine bay too I guess?

You'll get canaried without a heater so beware. You need to have the heat demister working (well you do in WA anyway).
