Ya, no problems. I don't really keep up with mileage, tho. Usually just fill it up when the light comes on & ride. When I bought mine a month ago it had 670 mi. It only has 1750 now. I may not be able to tell if the capacity or fuel gage has been affected, honestly; not enough experience with this bike.

Here is the project I did last weekend. I bought the billet powdercoat 2" lift off ebay for $45 shipped. Looked everywhere for info on rear lifts. It looked a little off with the front lift only, to my eye.
After contacting a couple of tank lift makers and getting ignored by one (on this forum) and told "not interested,bud" by the other guy (eBay), I went to lowes and for around $20 got everything I needed.
I used drilled right angle and ground it down to double eye washers, but when I get my mig welder wired in, I'll probably just grind down the edge of a couple washers and weld them together.
Later this summer, I'm installing the burly slammer kit, wide glide front end, and 3 degree fork cups. Got oversized wheels going on with avon venom's as well. Will update you guys when I have more pics.
If you want to see some of the parts going on my bike, take a look on my home page. I have 5 or 6 albums there. Later.

Thanks for the extra pics. It does look easy to fab. May give it a try this weekend if the weather is crap. If it isn't I'll be on the bike.
Front lift doesn't affect capacity too much, I estimate at less than 1/2 gal. Accuracy of gauge on mine wasn't too good to begin with. Half into red would take 3.5 gal before lift, now it only takes 3 gal at the same spot.
