Default sportster custom, tank lift

Hi Guys, I have a 2008 Sportster Custom and want to raise the tank. I have, via this forum (thanks Guys) found the solution to move the speedo out of the way but would love to see some pics of a raised tank on a custom. Hope some of you have done this and can give me some good profile pics please.

Many thanks

Chris.

Here are a couple of 4.5 gallon tanks with Lift Kits.

Also, now that we have 1" Tank Lift Kits, it may be possible to do one without moving the Speedo...check for clearance, per the instructions in the description.
