No, unless you came up with a modification of some kind. The taco handle is bolted on and this style is welded on. Personally I like the look of this old one and I don’t care for the taco one.

Date code would have been on the exhaust vent. Gen 2 is 2005 to 2009.
Perhaps there is a sticker on the backside of the control panel?

I have these that I bought for My Back in Black Performer. The Back in Black just has a broken cover plate but it's wheels are good..
I thought I would bleach the Gen 2 OEM Wheels, and see how they look. I kind of like the Daisy Style Wheel.

With that wooden handle, why would you consider a Taco handle.
Although somewhere I saw someone paint or dye a wooden Weber handle black on a green kettle and it looked sharp.

Richard it was me that you saw dying the kettle handles black. I could dye the OEM Green Lid plastic handle, but I am leaning toward the New Lid with the Taco Shell handle. I do have a Yoda Walnut handle for that one also. When I asked them to make me a Walnut Yoda handle for the Taco Shell handle they made a mistake and made it for the older handle. They then corrected their mistake and sent me the right one, but allowed me to keep them both for the price of one since it was their mistake. Below is the Walnut handle for the Taco Shell handle, but I am liking the Black handle right now.
Here is an example of My other Performer's dyed black handle.
Here is Kettle I did with dyed Black Handles

Yeah Samuel, I like the black plastic handles too but somewhere I saw someone with the original Weber style wooden handles in black. Might not have been this forum I saw it on though. I need to take your inspiration and dye a set of plastic ones black. I bought the bottle of dye, just need to get off my butt and do it.

Did you wash it before you dyed it. Although sometimes when you wash it the logo comes off.
