Default Tank lift kit on a Deluxe

Anyone have pics of a tank lift kit installed on a Softail Deluxe? Thinking of doing it but I'd like to see pics.

Would love to do it, but I'm afraid that my windshield quick disconnect would hit the left side of the gas tank. It's already extremely close. Any kits out there for this?

Nevermind I thought this thread was newer. Anyways Frank your Deluxe should have the same tank as my Slim. I have a DK 1.5" tank lift and my quick disconnect windshield clears just fine. It's close though.

I asked this question when I got my Deluxe (also a 17) and did not get much of a response.
It is very close (closer than my buddies heritage).

MHPRS,

Bike is a 2017, 5 gallon tank and it's extremely close on the left side. Hate to spend $50+ though, just to have it hit the tank. Since you didn't have any issue, I may go with it, but I'm leaning towards the 2"lift.

Thank again!

Bethro,
No issues on the left side of the tank?
