Tri Glide Lift
I am very new to the Tri Glide family and have heard about a lift kit for these bikes. I am wondering if the stock brackets look anything like the ones being advertised and what is the measurement of the stock height as well as the lifted height at the bottom of the trunk? I am just trying to find out if I need to order some new brackets or does my bike already have the lift kit installed.
Thank you for your time Randy.

The DK Custom Lift kit raises the rear of the Tri Glide 1.5". It also makes for smoother shock travel, lighter steering, better braking and a nicer look. I love it on my 2016 TGU. It takes a dealer about 1.5 hours to install. A person doing it for the first time, probably about 1 hour more?

Well, if we are going to be precise, the DK Custom Lift raises the bike 1.25" at the shocks and 1.6" at the rear of the Tri Glide per DK's literature. The look is really better because it doesn't have that "*** dragging" look that they come stock with. The better braking is accounted for by the increased weight placed on the front tire from the slight change in geometry that allows for some increased front brake effectiveness and significantly lighter steering perception for many of us.
