thats a lot for something you can make for $5

 

well ya i didnt kno if anyone has ever done anything like that for cheaper or what...sooo thats what i was kinda inquiring about...

 

All you need to do is cut out 2 pill shaped steel or aluminum plates, drill a coupe holes in each (1''-2'' apart -however high you want to raise it) and pick up a couple extra short bolts. I used 4 short bolts, which was kind of a pain holding the nuts inside by the frame gusset so you don't see any nuts, just smooth allen bolt heads. Check out my tank, it's raised 2" with 1/8" aluminum pieces. If your at all capable of a little fabricating then do it yourself and save a little $$, it's easy just takes a little while. I also rerouted my wires above the tank and relocated the coil between the cylinders with an aluminum bracket I made.

 

Also, for the upper bolts, I did have to grind the nuts a little thinner and shorten the bolts to fit between the tank mounting plates and the toptube of the frame.
