I just installed one of Jackyl's kits on my Street Bob.

I really like it.

The only issue I have is that the cross over feul line is right against the frame now. I'm not sure if it's going to rub through eventually or not.

He did include a new (longer) fuel line with the kit, but man...I hate to remove those factory crimped clamps.

Or, I could just install a little longer line and do it right. I just wonder why I haven't seen this issue in the other tank lift threads I've read?

The mount seems to be high quality and the look is awesome. I'm just not sure which route to take with the cross over fuel line...
