Tank lift problems
It would have been much better to have picture instructions. Installed front tank lift, but would like to know if it was done correctly.
Couldn't install rear lift. My tank has some loop years on the back and it seems to make it impossible with the kit I received.
I'll probably call DK tomorrow but I know they write on the forum a lot and would like to see some tank lift close up pictures from forum members to double check the install.

It looks right to me too, but I think I would leave the rear stock. It would seem to me that the tank might damage the front of your seat, that is if I am looking at the picture correctly.

Heres from DK customs site. I saw this when I ordered lift awhile back and decided not to raise the rear. again this is taken from there site, not my info...http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Delu...-DLXO-DYSP.htm
IMPORTANT Fitment Note for Some 2010 - Up Dynas:
Look at the pictures below, SOME 2010 - Up Dynas have extra metal on the tank ear that prevents the Deluxe Option from fitting. The pictures below have a note on how to tell and how to make your own rear tank lift if there is extra metal.

They instruct that you can drill out the ears and raise the back a bit that way.
I just got my kit today and am going to try it with just the front and see how I like it and raise the back it it seems like the thing to do.
Just saw this thread.
Here are some pics from the product description page-
On some later model Dyna Models, HD nicely gave some extra metal on the rear tank ears. This means you can do a rear tank lift just by drilling a couple of holes.
This will lift the rear of the tank up about 1/2", does not seem like much, but it will give better access for looks, cleaning, AND air flow over the back rocker. It will not damage the seat at all lifting it that 1/2".

Thanks to every single comment. All of you helped me a lot. Just decided to leave the front lift on and later on maybe I'll give the rear one a try. Bike looks real nisce with the lift and tach is easier to see.
Pictures in both the thread and site are great if I decide to do the rear.
