Where canI get the parts to make the lift and is it a major undertaking? Looks great!

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!

I am glad they don't, think they look like chit, if I want to raise the tank I will stretch the frame.

No, I don't attract flies, I guess they don't like cutting torches and grinders.

funny thing is, i look at your bike and all i see is harley bolt on mods. why bash on people that dont buy harley bolt-on accessories like you do, alot of people like to be diffrent from the harley bolt-on mods. iam not saying this mod is for everyone, everyone is allowed thier own opinion. but dont call no one challenged, when you probly have the dealer install all your parts and accessories. my .02 cents. jackyl

The only thing that was not on my bike when I bought it was the bars and bags.
I had to modify the bags because they were from an 2004.
The bars I did my self , I also did the internal wiring , shaved the stock seat and recovered it , made and installed multipul pieces of leather items including the fork bag, changed the rear tire myself used a buddys tire changer.
I play with 4x4 rock crawlers also and do all my own fab work, engine rebuilds, trasmissions and so on.
