I posted this in another thread yesterday but I think it fits here......

Thanks Jackyl! Best $25I ever spent. Put the 2" lift on today and it looks incredible. Now I can see that beautiful v-twin! Makes a perfect line from the seat. I think the lifts look particularly good on Street bobs because of the mini-apes.

I did remove the console and rearranged the fuel line and wires. It gave mea little more length.

It was a great part. It was a quick and fun installation with instant gratification!

 

I just installed the 2" lift on my bike a few days ago. The install was really straight forward. The only pisser is that when the handlebars are turned all the way to the left (normal parking position) the bolt from the triple trees hits the tank. I just got back from my first ride with the lift on the tank and sure enough now I have a tiny ding in the front of the tank. I will have to park with the handlebars turned to the right (will be a hard habit to break). So anyone with the '07 Low Rider be aware of this situation so you don't hit your tank like I did. The good news is the ding is very small and I would be the only one to ever notice it.

 

Did you read Psychos post in this thread?

 

Yes, after I posted my message. LOL

I tried it but there isn't anymore give to slide the tank back. I will have to try a dremmel later on. For now I took off the lift kit because I don't want to mess up the tank from the triple tree bolts hitting the front of it.

 

Well, let us know how it comes out. I am still at work. If I find out there there is not enough give on my tank when I get home, I will be taking out the dremmel too.

 

I'm planning on getting Jackyl's 2 inch lift for my bike soon. Jackyl also has an eBay ID if you want to buy from him there. It's mmcproducts, but according to Jackyl you'll save $5 if you buy from him here through the forum.

Can you still top off the tank with the same amount of gas with the lift. I know that because I can put in 4 doesn't mean I will on a hot day.

 

I wondered that myself. The answer in my case is yes.

What I don't know is if you get to use all the gas. It seems like some of it would be unreachable to the fuel line since the rear of the tank is slanted down with the lift. Prior to my 3" lift, I could go 200 miles before refueling but I'd start sweating at 190. I haven't had the nerve to run the tank that low without refilling since adding the lift.

 

I didn't get the wiggle room by loosening the tank bolts so I took a round file to the rear tank mounting bracket. Filing about 1/8" or so toward the tank let the tank slide back enough to get front end clearance
Took about 10 minutes.
Thanks again for the tip Psycho!
