The turn signals don't come close to touching, the throttle cable will touch the tank if cranked all the way to the right and you pull hard. Which I have never done since I put the lift on. But I also bought the deluxe kit from dk customs which allows you to move the rear of the tank back a little bit and up a little bit. I did not have to use the deluxe option as the cables won't touch under normal operating conditions. I couldn't be happier with the look it added to my bike. I do plan on getting different bars I just can't decide what to go with. But that's a discussion for another thread!!! Lol

I know how many haters that there are out there regarding the tank lifts, but I have to say it's been one of the best mods I've done yet for my '12 FLD. I do a lot of highway riding and use my windshield a lot. There was so much buffeting that it was pure misery with my goggles getting rattled on my head and blurred vision. Then I put lower wind jammers on and they worked great, but my bike ran hot as hades and looked down right fugly. I purchased the 2" lift from DK Customs and installed them today. I took my scooter for a spin and it was awesome! No more lower wind jammers for me. And all that wind hitting my motor getting maximum cooling. Hate if you want, but this mod is *******. Hell yes!

The lift is in the front but you can get the deluxe option that allows you too raise the rear of your tank and slide it back slightly to help with clearance and personal appearance preference.
