Default Will it hit my tank?

Just fitted an Arlen Ness air cleaner cover to my 06 Street Bob fitted with a Harley SE cleaner.

Not sure if you can see from this photo, but the top of the cover is only about ¼ “ away from the underside of my tank.

Is it going to hit the tank when the engine vibrates? Help!

I would recommend Jackyl's 2" tank lift. It looks great on my Low Rider.

Thanks for the feedback all. Here is a better shot of the clearance problem. Where would I get the tank lift kit from guys? Anyone any other ideas before I do anything major?

It will not hit your tank with that much clearance. I have far less clearance between my rear cylinder and the frame and it does not hit when the engine is running.
