The link pipe underneath is a bit tight but shouldn't cause a problem and the breather pipe that goes under the guages is at its limit but again should be fine .

I fitted a set of flush caps from ebay before doing the lift so watch the standard caps.

With the bike on full right hand lock the rubbers of the throttle cables touch the tank .Again not a problem for me as mine is denim black and when do you use full lock ??


Hope that helps if you want some better pics of the clearance give me your email address and I will send you a shot of the controls with the bike on full lock ..

this might sound funny, but what are flush caps?...ive never heard of them...also, when the bike is turned to lock, do the turn signals touch the tank, i know they are pretty close as it is stock...thanks...

Take a close look at his fuel cap/gauge. They sit flush with the top of the tank.

That slammed front fender looks cool, what did you have to do to get that done? Have you had any rubbing issue or problems with rocks or do you keep it off the gravel? Mojo
