No pics but I took a 2 1/2 peice of 3/4x1/4 metal and drilled 5 holes in it so I could raise the tank from 1" to 2". Pretty easy job.

We do have tank lift kits for Softails, they come in 1.5", 2", 2.5", and 3". You can check them out at this LINK. Give me a call if you need anything.

Order up yourself a couple of good old fashion wall mount bottle openers and you have a tank lift.....
You can use a nylon washer of any thickness in the rear to lift that up as well...

Both, some think it looks better, plus allows more air to pass over the top of the engine also makes it easier to clean the top as well.
