Got to agree. On a Rocker, a tank lift is almost a must have item. On a Deluxe, I could only imagine it looking out of place. Still, its your choice to do as you wish. Its just seems as if you'd be pulling it off soon. But what they heck, I have taken plenty of my mods off later down the road. Its all just part of a bikes evolution, right.

Post up pics if you do it.

 

Did 2" on my fxst ..love it..cheap too

 

I have a 3" on my Deuce. With the stretched tank that it and the rocker has, it really just fits. I had to get risers on mine.

 

If you have to raise your bars then no, at that point you are compromising your prefered riding position to show a little more bling. Next thing you know you're trailering it to shows...lol

 

I agree on everything but the Rockers. Those tanks just don't flow with the lines of the bike (IMHO) and can benefit from being raised a tad in the front. Raising the tank on a Heritage or Deluxe is just a crime against nature.

 

Benway, totally agree, looks right on a FX or Rocker, not a nostalgic bike
like a Heritage,Deluxe or a Fatboy. But in the long run you are the one
that plunked down the cash or making the payment.

 

All in the eye of the beholder...here's a Deluxe with a 2" Tank Lift that I thinks looks badass.

 

DK, got any more pics, thats a cool lookin Deluxe.

 

There's a bunch of Softails in the video below...2 more of that Deluxe, 43 seconds and 1:28 minutes

 

My Fatboy has a lifted tank, it exposes quite a bit more of the heads, IMO it is a good looking mod, it is stylish, functional, and girls like it too!
