Yes, I've made my own. The front is coming in at 1.5,” and the back I believe will weigh in right at 3/4”. I'm not done yet but I believe it's going to work, with elongating the holes at the rear of the tank. I'm not so certain about the look, but I'm all in for cooling that back cylinder as much as possible....

I've ran the DK Custom lifts on my old Softail. Keep in mind it can affect your handling slightly and your fuel gauge readout depending on how high you go. For a clean install you will likely need to modify a few things such as the fuel tank rubber trim, etc. It does provide easy access to clean your rocker boxes which is nice.
