Default +1 for DK

I just put a 2" DK kit on my Street Bob, and so far I really like it. The biggest plus for me is the increased visibility of my speedo. I hated having to look down to see my speed.

Some advice: have a 2" block of wood handy to support the tank, and not a lot of gas in it if you doing it alone. Much easier that way.

1 3/4" lift to clear heads. ACE hardware under $4.00 wireing was just long enough to not cause any problems

What did you use Thread bar and spacers or a U bolt.

I HIGHLY suggest DK's 2" kit. I just ordered one and also the coil relo kit. They were awesome to deal with. I will be shopping with them again.
