Default Fat Bob tank lift?

The clearance issue I had after installing the 2" lift was the front signals which are mounted on the bars. You "may" be able to adjust/tilt them so that they clear but it's close...

If you want spacers for the risers, some guys have gotten them from this site: http://www.spacerjim.com/HarleySpacers.html

Cheers,
Eric

Thanx bro. I was just wondering if I even need them or will the bars and signals clear the tank.

Just installed the risers on my Fat Bob and I think your back will be happy and it will look better with your tank lift imo.

Just the turn sigs would hit on full turns. But like others said you can get risers or relocate the turns sigs.
