Did the lift with the coil/ignition relocation the other day. Really like the end result. I'm not the most mechanically inclined so it took me about 5 hours to do the whole thing, including running up to the hardware store to get a few things. Didn't run into any problems except it took me about 30 minutes to get one of the hex screws out to install the coil bracket. Think I pulled something in the process. Hope you guys like the pics and thanks to DK Customs for a great product.
Very cool! Looks great!!!
We appreciate your business.

However, on some pre-2000 Sportys you cannot lift the front the tank even 1" without the back of the tank hitting the backbone. On those it can look pretty good with a Tank lift and a rear lift.
On ALL Twin Cams the Deluxe option looks REALLY Good. Check it out HERE. It gets the tank all the way off the rocker covers.

Hey Kevin,
I installed the coil relocation & tank lift kit on my 2010 Nightster, this past weekend. It took about 2 hours (I took my time). I'm not a mechanic, but I can swing tools around OK.
The parts fit great. The biggest pain was the coil harness move - if we can call it that. (Which is why you provide tie-wraps, of course.)
Started the Banshee up and she sang for me. Sweet music. Great look!
Thank Dawn for me. I don't who she bribed at Canada Customs, but the kit got here in under a week. (Given past experience, that's really fast.)
Reasonably priced, quality parts and easy installation. Can't rave enough about it.
