Another Tank Raise Question...
I have read a ton of posts...
Looked at a lot of pics...
Spent time on search...
Just can't seem to find out how to order the 2" tank lift for my 2008 Streetbob?
Any help here is thanked in advance.

Here's a couple of installation hints. After you get the lift wait until you're ready to get gas before you do the install. It will make the job just a bit easier as you won't have the extra weight to contend with. Take the bolt and acorn nut from the rear of the tank and use it up front. Use the one Jackyl supplies on the back of the tank. Makes for a better looking installation with both acorns up front. Also, on my Bob the stock vent hose leading from the tank to the junction at the side of the frame was too short after the lift was installed so I had to use the extra piece of fuel line (which is supposed to be used as a replacement crossover line in some installations) to replace it. Other than that the install was a snap. Great product and exceptionally well made. You'll like the look!! By the way, my sig pic was taken prior to the lift install.

+1 for what JBPhoto said, including the vent hose being too short. Since I didn't need to replace the crossover line, I just used the extra tubing for the vent hose.

+1 for Jackyls 2" tank lift.
