apparently that's the only thing that will fit my bike... seems like a LOT of lift. Would like to see how it looks before I buy.

yep, already know all about jackyl's kits. but 3" is the only size that will fit my bike. Every picture I have seen on the forum so far has been of 2" kits. So I wanted to see the bigger kit before deciding to go with it at all.

It's not a lot of lift. I have the 3in. on my wg. The only thing I don't like about it is the long crossover fuel line. I keep wanting to route it straight through the frame and think there is a pre-drilled hole I can utilize but haven't had a moment to sit down and see if that will really work.

Here is with 3in lift installed:


Here is stock position:

I'm curious why a 2in wouldn't fit? Doesn't make sense in my logical thinking.

didn't to me either, but he said something about the anniversary bikes having different mounting tabs on the tanks. I haven't compared to other dynas to see what's different though.

Actually, the 3in. didn't fit my 07 wg. I had to drill new holes in the rear tank mount to move it back about 3/8 in. or the top tree pinch bolt would hit the tank. No big deal though. I probably have pics of that somewhere if y'all are interested.

you should find another source that can 100% confirm this is correct... or just have Jackyl send you the 2" one (it's not much $) and try it out for yourself...(of course don't try to get a refund if it does not fit!)
