Raise that tank!
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.................

Looks good jay ! I have always liked the engine being exposed as much as possible ...looks good ! easier to get at things ! and probably helps a little with cooling the motor due to better air flow over the cooling fins on the cylinders !!!! I bet a sportster peanut tank would look good raised up just a skosh ........

RE: Raise that tank!
Hello
Does the Tank lift help with the wind buffeting?
I have a 04 WG.
I run with a windshield.
I use a Jacks flap vest.
The vest does great good with wind buffeting.
The summer weather gets hot and high humidity here in VA.
I'm looking into other options for the wind.

RE: Raise that tank!
I wear prescription glasses and before the tank lift my eyes would water bad. After I put on the tank lift the problem went away. The windvest is only 14 inch tall. It is realy surprizing how well the lift and windvest work together.
