Default Request tank lift pics

Can someone post pics of the actual Jackyl tank lift? Not pics of the profile of the bike, but close up pics of the actual part installed. Maybe how the wires are routed.

I noticed that there was another lift on e-bay, anyody use the other one, or have opinion about it. I don't want to offend anyone 'cause I know Jackyl is a friend of most here. Just asking.

Thanks

Here is a close-up. Note that I used the nicer looking bolt from the rear of the seat to replace the one included in the kit. The kit bolt went on the rear of the seat.

Another close-up. Like others, I used the acorn nut from the rear tank bolt to match. Cables were long enough to route over the lift. I've had them routed inside, too. Both routes worked for me. At the time I took this pic, the cables happened to be routed on top.

Cheers,
J
