Just build one yourself. lol, Its very simple and a can of black tremclad is CHEAP!
BTW : Im a cheap bastard too, and I hate chrome... So... I bought the rocker (Wich was discontinued in 2010) because Im going to get all the grey bits crinkle coated black. AND my rocker is black... so... It will match nicly. Was I being cheap? or saving the $5000 extra the the MoCo expects you to pay for the chrome?

I did a 1 1/2" lift on my FXST and made the lift from a piece of scrap steel in my garage plus $3.00 worth of hardware from Home Depo.
Took two hours with a hacksaw, dremel, drill press and can of gloss black engine spray paint. Looks and works great.
Here is before final shaping and painting:
All the pre-fab lift kits I checked on were ridiculously over-priced considering what they consisted of, but that is just my opinion.

But about the lift I did the 2&1/2 lift and am very pleased with it. However, I need to buy taller risers before installing apes. I liked the look of Dawg's bar & riser combo but it hits the tank now. Micahop's narrow apes might work, I just need some more discretional income to do some trial and error.
