DK custom lift with my bike?
Looking into doing a 1.5 or 2 inch lift, but seems like it's going to hit the speedo. Anyone do one with a speedo mounted like this?

Is turning the clamp and risers 180Degrees an option so the speedo sits on top?

It is very close, and depending on how HD made Your Custom (they have a rather large leeway in their tolerances) you may be able to fit a 1.5" Tank Lift.
Here's a link with some easy steps on how to check.

Get a longer set of risers or a riser extensions Both sold from DK customs. More clearance for the speedo.

Unfortunately the Custom uses a completely different riser set up...ours won't work with the Custom, and the few that are out there are pretty high $.

No. The speedo housing is notched, so to speak, so your speedo would be upside down. I also don't think the bolt holes would line up.
