>>The main thing to prepare yourself for is the loss of useable fuel.<<

My five gallon Fatbobs are angled up way higher than any tank lift kit. And my petcock is still in the midpoint stock position and I still get better than 200 miles out of it with fuel remaining over the petcock. So I'd say the amount of "unusable" fuel with the kits you're talking about is negligible.

 

Have a 2inch on my Rocker and i personally think a 2 inch is perfect.
Made it myself out of flat stock cost about $5.00 for the steel at Home Depot,black spray bomb,done.

Sweet! Thanks for chiming in.

 

IMO, buy the kit from DK or any other ebay site....you pay $20 or so and be done with it, not searching around for random parts. I bought a can of pac blue pearl from color rite and spray painted them to match the rest of the bike. I agree with Irishwoodchuck about the 2" lift, definitely balances the tank out online with the rest or your bike.

 

Below are a few pics showing Rockers without and with a 2" lift.

DK tanks lifts are not flat metal, they are round to match the lines & frame of the bike, and offset so the tank ears don't have to bend when installed. They are powder coated and include hose & clamps, should you need them.

 

Here ya go...just loosen rear bolt and retighten after installing lift.

 

Did you really NEED to clutter the board with your b******t tank lift threads? One wasn't good enough to show off that crap mod?

Chill out!

 

Was referring to the recent influx of separate threads all dealing with the same mod. You're a moderator and there's nothing wrong with this picture?

Yeah, this is uncalled for. I answered another one but reviving/starting 8 different threads is ridiculous. I regret even answering one now.
