The 2" lift went on without changing the crossover hose, but it was close. You'll definitely need to change it with a 3" lift.

My bars still don't come close with 4" risers.

Your bike is pretty slick. I am not a big fan of red, but this thing is damn sexy..

Thank you.

You should see it in person. It's actually orange! My iPhone just doesn't pick up the color right.

Really? That's awesome. I had an '85 Camaro back in the early 2000s that I had painted an orange red color that was the same way. Certain light it looked super orange, other light candy red. It wasn't that kameleon color change crap either. It was just the tint of the color was weird. Wasn't really expecting that when I had it done, but certainly wasn't upset about it. If you don't mind me asking what are those boot covers off of, or where did you get them? Look better than many others I have seen

I bought the boots here Dallas from cat eye is a forum member and great to deal with.

Yeah, the orange is different in different light, but not the chameleon effect. I think the flakes reelect different in different light. You've probably seen the color if you've been to a HD shop this year. It's one of the stock colors on Fat Bobs, Fat Boys, some Sportsters and V-rods. It's an H-D1 option for Street Bobs.

I needed 3/4" to clear the heads.
What motor is that?

I think tank lifts look really good on street bobs.
