While looking around for more **** to add to my scooter, I came across a thread about Jackyl's tank lift.
After looking at some of the pics, I saw why peeps were doing it.

It then occured to me most of the pics were of Roberts and Softies so I thought maybe some of you FXD guys would appreciate a look at how yours could look with your top end exposed.

Here are some before pics.................

That's the 2 inch lift JBaker. I thought about the 3 incher but didn't want to be bothered removing the fuel crossover line.

I like the way it looks from the side but the veiw from the seat is also improved IMO. It looks so much better with the nice rake it has now.[sm=shades.gif]

Now that I have the lift, it drives me crazy to look at a bike without one. They look so flat as squashed down on top of the engine. Makes you wonder why HD doesn't build them that way!
