I just bought my first Harley and ofcourse it's a blue Rocker C (sooooo happpyy with it). Anyway, i want to lift front of the gas tank 2 or 3 inches using the brackets from ChopperStyle. My issue is that I just ordered the drag bar set up for my rocker.

My question is this...Should I raise the front of the tank 2 or 3 inches. I have the feeling that if i raise it 3 inches i'm going to have problems with my turn signals hitting the tank.


Any advise or pics from anyone.

thank you fellas

 

you are going to have to relocate the turn signals regardless with either a 2 or 3" kit. this is why my tank lift from chopper style and my drag bars are sitting on the work bench until i have time do it, or until it is winter

 

really?!?!. So regardless of 2 or 3 inches i have to get rid of them huh??? I called the guy at chopperstyle and he told me that i shouldn't have any problems.

i know there is someone here that has those brackets on their rocker, i saw the thread with the picture i just don't remember which thread it was.....i have a headache from going through all the posts looking for the pic lol lol

 

I like the way the gas tank looks lifted. The guy that did it to his, was a blue rocker C. Wether he had to or not he relocated his turn signals to the forks.

 

dude have you really looked @ your turn sigs and how close they're to the
tank when handlebars are in relaxed position?about 1/2 1o 1" from the tank
you totally need to move them if you have stock rocker c handlebars &amp\\;\\\\\\; go
with a tank lift here's the pic of Windeeds awesome scoot

 

Thanks Mike for posting the pic. Alain, I was the one that posted about the tank lift. Stay with the 2 inch softail lift. If I would have raiesed the tank 3 inches it looked like the top of the tree would hit the tank. Moving the signal lites is a given either way. I took the time to paint the brackets with touchup paint.

i measured. there is only about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" of clearance with the turn signals as far up as they will go. they need to be relocated with the tank lift. i also have my relocation brackets on order, another reason why i have not do it yet

 

hard to do mods when you wait so long
i dont wanna give this mutt up yet!!!
waiting for sno...w

 

man that 2 inches makes a world of difference. now the tank is in shape w/ the frame and swing arm like it should have been to begin w/. hadnt ordered my lift kit yet on account of the turn signals issue. anyone know where i can get sum turn signal relocators at reasonable price?

 

yeah, i need some pointers on where to get my kit to relocate my signals to the triple trees
