Tank lifts

Hey gang, I'm thinking of getting a tank lift on my '95 springer, but not totally sure. From what I've read you can get 1", 2" and 3"? Anybody have any before and after pics?

make sure you will have clearance between handle bars/turn signals and your tank after the lift

i have a 2 inch lift no problems and it looks way better and got about 20 degree cooler oil temps

A lot of guys in the Dyna forum get their tank lift from forum member Jackyl. I happen to have his 3", but don't have any before/after pics. Jackyl has a bunch of pics though. (as he should - he makes the damn things)

Wow. That looks very nice with the rake of your bike. Not sure how it would look on my springer. Very nice. Thanks for the pics.

I had a 2” tank lift on my 07 Street Bob and it looked great for sure.
I also had a longer crossover line added, the old one started to rub through.
The lift may have help keep things a little cooler?

I’d love to have one on my 09 NT, however I don’t want to change messing up my
“how many miles I have left to go on what’s in the tank feature.” For now anyway.

got the two inch on mine, gives it a semi chopper look,runs a little cooler and I can get my hands under the tank to clean the tops of the rocker boxes.. You will also need to get a longer crossover tube.. I measured one on a bagger its longer and fits perfect, also got the chrom/wire one..
