i have lifted my tank up 2" and wanted to know if I can expect a change in when my fuel light comes on. Has anybody had any problems after they have fitted a 2" tank lift on there Street bob?

Possibly. The lift actually fixed my gauge. Before it was coming on way too early and now it comes on with a gallon or so left which is about what I want. Before the lift, it was coming on with a half tank left. It will change your gauge most likely - but, to what degree, you will just have to see.

Yes, mine came on earlier and now that I've installed 11" Progressive shocks, it comes on even earlier. I pay no attention to it. Keep track of the miles you ride and fill with that info in mind. The most I rode was about 170 miles after the 2" tank lift, couda went more. Now, I fill up around 130 miles since the 11" shocks and 103 build. Could go more there also but that's where I usually filler up.

I went with 2 inch lift and didnt notice a change, later changed it to a 2.5 inch and still noticed no difference.
My lightused to come onway early, I actually think its helped it come on later now.I go by mileage anyway.

After the 2" lift mine now comes on with 1/4 tank left (sometimes - LOL -- depends on whether bike is upright or on the kick stand). I still don't trust it much and go by the trip mileage as most others I run into do and what my dealer suggested.
