What about making your own? A couple of metal straps, pipe, threaded rod, chrome acorn nuts, and washers.

WS6 - Do you have a picture of your bike that has a spot of dirt on it? Every pic you post pisses me off because it's sooo damn clean...

I think those photos above are around 18,000 miles, Here's one with a little rain residue, but that was when it was new :




What's the opposite of "Easy come easy go"
Here's a recent photo I took a couple of weeks ago of my bike I bought with my life savings 35 years ago, from cash earned from delivering news papers in New York 7 days a week (Well earned in the winters)http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/540...st92009002.jpg

So the moral of the story..............I don't remember!..............................Oh yeah, I'm expecting my Low Rider to be my last bike, so like my last bicycle I'm going to take good care of it just incase I live longer than expected .

Forum member "Jackyl" makes and sells 2 and 3 inch tank lifts. He sells them direct here, if you send him a pm, and he sells them on ebay at a little higher price to cover the costs of ebay and paypal. I would say it's possible the lift you bought on ebay came from him. But, since I can't find any workmanship issues whatsoever with his 2" lift, it must be someone else's. I have his 2" lift on my bike and have no complaints and haven't seen anyone else here complain about his lifts either. So give him a shout...
