good.. they look good, they're easy to install, makes it much easier to clean the rocker boxes.

bad.. you lose a tiny bit of fuel..that's about it..

I love mine. It sets the tank at the angle it should have been from the factory.
Only down side, it makes my stock dash look extra tall IMO.

By my estimations I lost about 15-20 miles cruise range. No big deal to me as I like the lift. Like Zambo said it flows with line of the bike better
