Hi,I pick up a new Dyna in July & this is one of the mods i'm looking at,has anyone noticed a change in the handling specially with a full tank,due to the higher tank position?
Thanks,Graham.

do a google there are alot out there, some are chromed there is a guy who c&c`s them and will do a little schroll work and although i haven`t seen up and personal they look like something that came with the bike from factory, not a piece of steel bought at the hardware store, remember you get what you pay for would you pay a extra 20 bucks on your custom piece, or 10 bucks from ace hardware

if you look at my tank lifts , you will not be able to buy it from ace hardware. if you want to spend 50.00-60.00 for them go right ahead. its your money not mine, or you can save 30.00 with mine. i really dont think you really know what my lifts look like, your just just spectulating. here is a pic of my mounts. jackyl

Jackyl your lifts are quality at a great price.

SOME PEOPLE just want to pay for the name.

Dont let them get to you!

"some are chromed there is a guy who c&c`s them and will do a little schroll work and although i haven`t seen up and personal they look like something that came with the bike from factory,"

My local dealer tricked out a Brand new 2007 street bob and used one of jackyls 2" tank lifts and loved it....(Looked factory enough for them) Where would you Scroll something that you could actually see on a tank lift ? Tank Lifts have been around for my 35 years of wrenching Harleys, and I've never heard of a problem with Gauges on any bike because of a tank lift. I'd like to read what your talking about. Got a Address of the site ? If anythingis Off on Jackyl's Kit it's he's not chargeing enough Moneyfor them...more like 50 or 60 bucks..Buy One try it then Respond from first hand Knowledge...

I'm going to order one of these. I already emailed Jackyl.

I was wondering what your impressions are on how it looks in person. I think that the pictures don't do it justice.It is hard to see the full impact of the change. It probably looks much more dramatic in real life.

Can one of you please describe the difference in the look?

Thanks!
