Default Fatbob tank lift

I'm working with someone in the forums to build me a tank lift for my FatBob. I've gone through a few test runs myself to see how high I can raise the tank without having the turn signals hit the tank. But first looking to see if anyone else has tried this and what height they went with.

Triman and snuffer, you should check out Mudpuddles "HOW TO - under fifty bux" thread. There's 3-4 different ways to relocate the signals, on the cheap with pictures.

2" from Jackyl . Do not have any problems with turn signals although I did fit flush caps before . The only thing that touches the tank is the throttle cables rubber housing so no sweat there.

The turn signals should be adjustable so just be careful when first fitting and turning on full lock.
