make sure you have clearance if you go three inches, and probably count on changing the crossover tube (Jackyl's comes with one)
Yes, it will affect your fuel gauge. I just go by miles to know when to fill up.
I say it is just for looks and some folks say it helps cool the engine. I am not so sure on the cooling part as the air over the fins is what does the cooling, but I can tell you it makes the top of the engine easier to get to for cleaning and I think it just looks good. I love mine.

NOTE: I have never used my fuel\reserve indicator on any bike. I always reset my trip A\B indicator and track fuel consumption by the mileage. Last week I got about 185 miles to the tank before I stopped to refuel and even then I had about .5 of a gallon left in the tank.
Love my 2" tank lift - big props to Jackyl!!

Yes, and quite good at it too. Some say it helps the cool the engine some by allowing more air to flow over it, I have my doubts on this though.
