Default Rocker Tank-Lift

I see a number of threads on Lowering the Rocker/ Rocker C, which is getting my interest, however,has anyone done a "Tank Lift" yet on a Rocker and if so can you post some pics, or has anyone seen one with a tank-lift?

Thanks for the info Mike. I have been searching for a thread on relocating the Turn sigs, many of them, but I cannot find one on the Rocker. Anyone know if Turn sigs have been relocated to forks?

Get rid of the Turn Sigs.
If you like or need front turn Sigs there are 2 other optiond then relocating.
Get mirrors with sigs built in -or Grips with sigs built in.

Got a third option, we, my son and I, the Rocker is his, made a bracket that bolts under the lower triple clamp and we installed the turn dignals between the fork legs under the lower triple clamp. The turn signals are attached to our "homeade bracket" using the "L" bracket that were used to attach the turn signal to one handle bar. We purchased another bracket from HD for the otherside and bolted it all together.
