These might help. I have them on on my bike but I don't have that tank lift. I am having a hard time making out the pictures and other than cleaning, what other benefit is there? Just curious. Might be something I NEED....
Benefit - aesthetics - better slope lines with the seat, better air flow on the heads, easier to clean. Downside: Less usable fuel.

I cant imagine you could lift both front and back by the same height and *not* have it be completely funky.
So I kept looking at the lift and something was just not right, cold see the tabs on the front of the tank, cut the middle out of the stock rubber cover a little at a time and then painted the bolt much cleaner looking now

I agree. But you can lift the rear by about 1/2" and get a really good look and even better air flow.

I really did not like the original look but what you have now looks great. Most excellent job. Maybe the manufacturer will learn from this.
I lifted the front AND back of mine so as to NOT lose any usable fuel. Lifted the front by 1 3/4" and then lifted the back by 3/4 of an inch. That kept the same original lines but just a tad higher. Made the kit myself out of some stuff I had laying around...........total cost was about $8
To me if you dont lift the front and the back your gonna lose some usable fuel.
Now I am convinced there is a mod for everything. That is one I never thunk.......I would like to see a view a bit farther away to get a better feel of the fit.
I actually lifted mine cause I needed to move my oil pressure gauge forward to accommodate the heat shields. So it was a mod out of necessity but I was happy with the end result.
