You can wiggle the bars just a tad can't you? and you left the inside metal spacers in right?

I feel like Bill Murray in groundhog day. Scroll back a page Rquest and you'll see exactly how I left it and plan to leave it. Done beating this issue like a dead horse =) I'm taking HKMark's advice and leaving it be. I feel safe with the setup and if it doesn't feel right I can always dissemble....again

No need to take offense, all I was saying is you could have scrolled up in the thread and seen exactly what I had done and what everyone had suggested and where I decided to leave it be. I'm confident my safety is fine in this situation but I appreciate the concern.

Can someone find a part number for me? I'm looking for the wire that goes to the speedometer and indicator lights.

I'm looking to mess around with extending this wire, but would rather get a spare one in case I botch it up

Thanks!

So..... will I be able to install the black liner tank console and tank lift with my cvo riser ? If yes how many inches can I lift the tank ?
Was thinking about the Dead Creak kit....
I'm also thinking about the cvo tank console if it's better with the tank lift ?
Cheers

I have a Blackline console and CVO riser, and there's no space for a tank lift, there's only a 3/8" gap between the console and speedo...
