Default Tank lift on a Deuce....

I thought I'd post results of a 2" tank lift on a duece. I am 6'3" and put tall drag bars for comfort (chubby 507's) and brought the tank up to make the bars look better on the bike. I like the way the tank flows to the seat(s) and shows the motor a bit more. It should be better cooling for the summers in Arizona. Again just FYI...I tried to find someone on this forum who had done this but could'nt so here you go. Not a great picture...it's getting dark will try better ones tomorrow.

looks awesome dude Iw ant to do the same thing, but with beach bars. I like the way your console flows into the seat.

Thanks. They have 3" but thought that would be too much. If you do this make sure of bar clearance.

I like it a lot, it looks great to me.
I think it's the proper lines with the seat.
Itreally sets off your front end too.

I have a 2" on my Fat Boy.
