Appreciate all the posts, thank you.
I was wondering what a tank lift would look like and now I know, lol.
A two inch lift was too much. The handle bars would hit the instrument panel/console, so I ended up drilling two new holes that gave me a 1 11/16" lift.
So what to do with the existing holes? Cut them off or use them for something? Well, I can always cut them off if I had to, so I purchased some black painted stainless tag bolts used to illuminate licence plates. I thought adding some light could help nightime visibility. I added a third tag bolt to the oil cooler mounting hole. Light is noticeable but no way over the top.
Again, comments always welcome!

So, you have two seats? Which one is the low profile one and can a passenger still ride with that one? Also did you use any other heartland parts? I am looking for a rear end almost exactly like that however want the option for a passenger. I like the heartland second seat but am looking for other options as well. And more info would be great.

Sorry. What I was asking for was some detail on the rear fender area. Looks great and thought it might be something to look at doing down the road. Where did you get the rear fender, struts and accessories. Thanks

Rear end is the 180 Heartland Kit, including the fender, struts, seat and turn signals.

The Heartland 2-Up is slimmer and has less for the wife to sit on. She did complain that it was a tough go after a 30 minute ride. She also said that she felt that she would slide off the seat and was not very comfortable. So I experimented and built a seat out of fiberglass and made the back rest and integral part of the seat. More foam, not as sleek, but easier for the passenger. Now that was with stock shocks. I put on the SAS airshocks, which improved the ride dramatically. She hasn't been on the Heartland seat this year but she still likes the backrest.
