Hey Kevin. I've reached my wits end. I made a bracket to move the tank back in the rear and I'm as far as I can go back. Tried raising the bars with 3 1/2in risers from 1 1/2in ones and everything in between. Don't want to drop the tank but with the mods I've made I think I can make it work with your 2 1/2in lift kit instead of the 3in kit. Pains me to even say it but I gotta drop the tank. Can I take you up on the exchange offer and trade out my lift bars only (I'll use the rest of the kit)?
Hey tree, just saw this thread. If you tighten the rear bolt and all 4 of the tank bolts, (using threadlocker) it's not going to move. lol, we tried just the other day on one that we were working on....loosened the rear tab bolt and two of us were pushing and could not get it to move forward! Had to loosen the tank lift bolts to get it to move.
Not a Rocker, but on my Heritage I enlarged the slot some so that I could slide the tank back further.
I know you want 3", but if you need to exchange your 3" for a 2" or 2.5", that's no problem, just let us know.

Progress..
Thanks Kevin and Joe What..
Handle bars are on and tank is ready. Added new black console trim. They're a bitch to remove!! Took a while but cleaned up the glue with Goo B Gone and rubbing alcohol.

More progress...
Set up the rear fender and wired up the Heartland taillights..soldered the factory harness to the right size and tucked wiring.
Made a bracket to move the tank back to clear the bars..crude but it works and won't be seen.
Splurged on some Battistinis bling...shift rod I had to have. $180 bucks..wtf!! Expensive but his sh*t is SWEET!

Yea I had to stop cutting on it bro. I made several adjustments and it was getting scary. When I was doing it it felt like I was making a $320 mistake. But after the paint it came together for me. I'm alright with it now. The long fenders just don't do it for me and there wasn't anything out there (I could find) that was shorter so it had to be chopped. lol
Cant wait to see pics of everything completed!!!!! Looks good so far!
