Default FXDC braided cables, 2" tank lift
Ride: 09 FXDC
I've all my cables braided.
Now thinkin of putting a 2" tank lift.
I paid a lot for those braided cables so dont wanna change them.
will a 2" tank lift work with braided cables?

Also is there anything for a rear lift?
I saw a pic from a forum member who did something like that longtime back but not able to find his bike pic

i'm running the stock OEM handlebars with braided cable lines.
Anyidea if I go with tank lift would it affect the length of my cable lines...

I put the tank lift on my FXDC with braided cables and it didn't change a thing.

If you replaced your fuel crossover line with braided cable it may or may not be an issue. A 2" tank lift is not that extreme so give it a try and show us some pictures of it.

He does. He's got an ebay page he sells them through as well in case you don't here from him anytime soon. Not sure what he does...but sometimes he's busy and isn't able to frequent the forum.

Here he is. I believe you just tell him what year and model it is.

2" or 3" tank lift which gives a nice chopper look for a FXDC

That's up to you. 3" you need to replace the fuel line, but that's not a big deal. He gives you one with it. I have a 2", you can check out my garage in my profile to see how it looks.
