Default DK Customs tank lift, coil/ignition relocation

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.

Is the rear of your tank supposed to be that high? Looks odd to me.

Anyway, bike looks good!

You know I never noticed that. I didn't lift the rear of the tank. Just loosened the bolt to lift the front. Maybe someone can weigh in on that.

looks sweet. i think it would probably look dumb if the rear of the tank was lifted as well.

not that your bike in particular would look dumb, but any bike with a tank lift.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Like I said I'm not the most mechanically inclined, but I think I'm going to do the license plate relocation next and I want to change my handlebar grips but I'm not sure how hard that is.
