Default Lift the tank and drop the rear....

I finally got some pictures on here. I add some updated ones once the weather breaks.

I'm looking for a 2 inch tank lift? Any suggestions?
Also, looking to drop the rear? How low can I go with the stock 2012 Street bob tail light. I am filling the fender next winter but i would like to drop it before then..

Here's a LINK for tank lifts.

Dropping the rear (a small amount) can be done be changing the holes in the rear tank ears.

I am confused! Are you wanting to drop the rear part of the tank or the rear end of the bike....I can't figure out what the tail light has to do with either.

I'm looking to drop the rear end of the bike.....I'm worried that i may hit the wires under the fender from the existing taillight.

I am running the Burly Slammers on my bike, they take the shock a 10.5" length, which I believe is a 1.5" drop. My wires are ran down the strut so I don't know about possible rubbing, I do know I don't have any rub makes on the inside of the fender. You could go with the Progressive shock, they are 11" and I believe it's a 1" drop from stock.

I'm running the 10.5" Burly's as well and the ride isn't that bad at all in my opinion. No worse that stockers set at 5...

lol, I misunderstood you earlier.

HERE is another option on dropping the rear....look at the Fitment notes to what you can do without hitting the wires.

Default 2" tank lift

Thinking about 2" tank lift, question will a lift help keep engine running cooler. Pics would be great.
