I installed the 2 inch lift last year and couldn't be happier. I had no problems with the install and I really like way it makes the bike look. The only issue, as mentioned, is that the fuel gauge shows empty sooner. I just keep track of the mileage.

I have a 2" lift on my tank... I wasn't warned about the vent line. Found out the hard way when I ran out of line and had to take the dash off AFTER the line popped off and I wasn't paying attention to where it came from. Naturally I assumed it was a bigger deal than it was. So I just took the dash off, pulled a little slack in the vent line and put it all back together. Oh, one simple word of advice, don't install it with a full tank. It's easier to work with an empty tank and just in case you get a little over zealous and pull off your crossover, you won't have as much of a mess to clean up.

Cross-over line
Head others advice, get some venty line slack, and watch your cross-over. Mine with the 2" lift made my cross-over line a little tight around bottom of neck. I did not like that look or taughtness, so I replaced the line with a SS braided one about 2 inches longer. Also try to have a almost empty tank, just in case you have to fool with this line ( ask me how I know this....duh!).
I like the looks plus it gives more accessability to the top of the motor, for work and cleaning.

I’ve had a 2” Jackyll tank lift on an 07 SB and a 09NT.
Love the look it gave both of them.

I would suggest a longer crossover line as the stock
one will start to ware eventually if it’s to tight, mine did.
