Installed one on mine. Did it in the shed,was able to do without removing any lines. I think you will have to replace the crossover hose with the 3" lift. Just turn the bars stop to stop "Real easy" the first time to check for clearance on the tank.

To the OP, looks great. You will like cleaning them covers now...lol

07bobber needs one. It would make your lines flow a hell of a lot better. Kick *** bike other than that. dyna105, your ride is slammin!!!! Very jellous.

Animal, That's a sweet looking Fat Bob. The lift looks good, and the wheels and bars really set it off. Did you have a lot of the factory parts powder coated or buy replacements?

Animal the bike looks fantastic I love those rims man wish I had the bucks to change mine out. The stock rims are a pain to keep clean. The tank lift looks great with the lines of the bike, well done.

Thank you for helping me out. I'll seriously consider it.
