My daughter fabbed up a tank lift for me.

2 1/4" CL on the holes and I used the second hole on the tank so the lift is actually 1 9/16" CL on the bolts.

I didn't have time to raise the back of the tank yet. Might go 1".

Also looking to get a peanut tank / 3.25 gallons.

After:

 

Took a ride Filled her up.. added some stabil... put a cover over her.. tucked her in for the winter.. Not too many good days to ride here in NE stared at it for about 5mins.. shut the light off went in house..... What you know you have done the Long gaze yourself.

 

Didn't even bother licensing the 883 this year (more expensive every year, and seems a waste to license both of them), thought it might be a good idea to drain the gas and fill with fresh. I drain tanks by slipping a long tube on the petcock, gets enough out that way there's no spilling when I pull the crossover tube. Darned gas line partially crumbled when I tried pulling it off the petcock, decided to just pull and drain the tank, carb already drained, let it air dry a few days, alcohol rinse to get the smell out, and put it in the basement. Next spring, think I'll just replace all the gas lines I haven't in the last 2-3 years, doesn't cost much, and I already have 3 tanks off the bikes - might be a good idea to run a rustproof/seal kit through them while they're dry, too. Gonna be a long winter, and both sporties are just gonna park through it.

 

Well, I did something with, not to my sportster. Hope that counts too






November 23, again a warm day in the NL with 14 degrees c. Best riding year ever for us!

 

OOps, some thing fell off the brown truck today-now let's see if they fit.

 

Well it got up to 40 today so I rode that bad boy. Got in around 50 miles before I called it quits.

 

I installed the items that fell off the brown truck.

 

Started her up for the grand-daughter who's visiting, then went for a little spin.

Got her cleaned up and going to the local Xmas Parade tomorrow.

 

Got bored today so I relocated my key switch, sure cleaned up under the tank.

 

Sweet ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
