Here's a pic the one I used jd customs

 

It allows more airflow across the top of the heads keeping it a little cooler. Also gives you a little space to see more of the engine.

 

I made mine from an old steel bracket I had laying around.

 

My 2014 with just over 2" of tank lift.

 

My gauge was not all that accurate before the lift.

Use your trip mileage to keep track.

 

Here's a bunch of pics of different size tank lifts on Dyna's.

 

D*** that's a good lookin scoot! Paint is on point.

 

Many times, an after market "improvement" has downsides. You have to decide whether a look is more important than function. Bending the fuel float arm is a possible fix but it would certainly be a trial and error operation to get it accurate. That said, I wouldn't depend on a motorcycle fuel gauge even though I have one. Trip odometer miles reset at every fill up is my gauge. On my older Dyna I have a petcock which absolutely won't lie when fuel gets to reserve level. The biggest potential downside to a tank lift for me is the loss of usable fuel tank capacity.

When it comes to modifications and "fixes" from the aftermarket I use something close to the old shop theory. Look twice, buy (or not buy) once.

 

lift the front and back. i started to but, i was't keen on drilling.

 

yeah, I think im just gonna make some brackets and try it...
