Default RE: Raising the tank?
Anyone have a real before and after pic. I would like to see the raised look opposed to the stock look. I'm having trouble envisioning my tank 2 to 3"s higher but maybe it would look good?

Here is a stock before and after with the 2" tank lift from the one and only Jackyl.

Before and after of a 2" from Jackyl...too bad the "search" feature isn't working!

I have to say it's not as dramatic a difference as I thought it might be. Does the tank mod affect the seat in anyway?

Thanks again guys

Nope, doesn't affect the seat in any way from my experience or what I have heard

Yeah, your right but if I did a search for everything I would not have a chance to get to know anyone on the forum.

I got mine from Jackyl too, IMO this is a great mod for the dyna and gives it a little more personality.
