Street Bob Tank Lift ??'s
Hello All,
I recently purchased and installed the 3" DK Customs tank lift on my '10 street bob. Since installation I am having a loud rattle/bang when I hit any bump in the road. I am thinking it is coming from the tank. I was wondering if anyone else has been through this and if there are any easy ways to fix it? I am thinking it is from the washers rattling around between the lift brackets, but I'm not sure. I just don't want to over tighten the bolts...
Obviously i am a novice when it comes to working on my bike but I guess everyone has to start some where. These Forums are great and have helped me with other mods.
Thanks....

If it's the washers, you need to tighten them up. 24 ft pounds is enough, and no where near over tightening.
Did you re-tighten the rear tank mount after installation?

If front and rear bolts are tight, next think I would look for is a wire connector in the tank channel, or below the tank channel that is not secured in place with a zip tie....maybe it could be moving and knocking into the tank when you hit a bump.
