Kevin, can I do a rear lift. Just asking before I mess with it or remove it, I'm sure I'm not the first with this concern.

The split tank lift is a specialty item that we developed because of so many requests over the years. We have not delved into making a rear lift for them, but that does not mean it cannot be done. It may be something that you might want to experiment with.

As you know the front lift for the split tanks are far more complicated than the lift kits for the one piece tanks, so, while it may be a bit of a challenge, with some time and effort it may be possible.

Yeah, unbelievably, we took well over a year building prototypes, testing, more prototypes, and then the jigs...what a nightmare.

Regular tank lift-30 minute install...what it looks like-




Split Tank tank lift - 1+ hour install ...what it looks like...every angle, curve, slotted hole, etc. has to be just right-

Maybe its the angle that the petcock is attached to the tank? IDK but its a bit of angle, & I was able to position the new hose that DK supplied to best minimize strain & how tight of a turn the hose has to have (as it turns down).

Great kit, definitely worth it. This has to be the best look for the buck mod I have done so far!

Looks like you have a 2012+ Wide Glide with stock bars. What size lift did you go with?

Looks good bro! I thought for sure that the bars/fr signals would hit the tank with a lift. So I waited til I installed bars.

And it doesn't include the spacers and 4" bolts for the console bracket.

True that! And those are different model to model.
