Default X-bones and 3'' tank lift.
just did the 3'' tank lift on the bones and i must say i like the way it looks everything cleared with the bars no probs only thing i had to really do was take the tank off and place the wiring harness's on top of the backbone so you don't see them when the tank is lifted. let me know what you guys think.

neat... not something I would do, but it certainly changes the look of the bike

looks good but it's hard to get the full effect. those shots are too up close. got a profile shot that's a little further away?

Looks okay, but doesn't look like 3". Do you have a link to the kit you used? Also, what does your avatar say at the bottom?

Is the lift for looks or is it for cooling the engine?
