Thanks for posting that picture Mike. Here is a closeup of the tank lift.&nbsp\\;You can see the offset. Chopperstyle.net is where I bought it, comes with hoses, clamps, stainless bolts&nbsp\\;and it is black. I took touchup paint to the bracket. Color first, let it dry a few days and then used the clearcoat. Clearcoat evens out all the little brush marks.

I used a 2 inch lift. I also had a 3 inch lift but it looked like the tree would hit the tank if you raised it 3 inches.
&nbsp\\;
Remember if your lifting the tank you have to plan on relocating the signal lights. That means new brackets for the lights or signal mirrors and rewiring. I did both and used the blind spot signal mirrors from Kuryakyn. Lifting the tank looks great on the Rocker but there is more to it than taking two metal straps and drilling a couple of holes in each one.

Nothing is ever as simple as it first appears.

Steve, your a wealth of knowledge when it comes to customizing the Rocker.&nbsp\\; I like the raised tank and think that will be my next project.&nbsp\\; I've already relocated the turn signals.
