RE: Tank Lift

It can be done, there's all kinds of posts on this. For peace of mind,just loosen the bolts and prop up the front of the tank two inches with a towel or something and rotate your forks to make sure you'll have no interference with the two inch lift.

Good Luck

RE: Tank Lift

I'm sure you can fabricate some brackets for it for less than you can buy them for, although J&P has some good prices.

RE: Tank Lift

Better check with Rudedog.. Wide Glide tanks mount differently, someone was doing their WG to see if it could be done...

RE: Tank Lift

gconley, I think with my '01 Wide Glide, I'm going to have to move my tank back a bit for a 3 inch lift. Rudedog will know, since as it has been said, he was working with someone on the Wide Glide problem.

Shouldn't really be difficult, just monkey around with some towels and a ruler til you get the look you want, check the steering clearances and start drilling some steel!!!
