DK customs
Just ordered the coil relocation, ignition relocation, and 2" tank lift. Hoping its gonna work with my current setup. Wondering a few things....
1) how hard is this to do .... I'm not a "wrench"
2) anyone had issues with the 2" lift and handlebar clearance?
3) how or what is involved with doing a clean wire tuck? Can a non-mechanically inclined chap pull this off?
Any tips, tricks, or suggestions? Or a good picture heavy how to guide exist?

All that you ordered from DK is the same as my first HD mod order. The wire tuck is a little bit of do and check as you move it along. Tuck some stuff in a spot lower the tank see if it fits. The rest is pretty simple just depends on your wire neatness **** level.

Yes, the youtube video was helpful. Just get something to prop up your tank while working on the wires. Taking the tank off is the easiest. Just take your time. I moved the ignition and coil first, but I didn't mount them yet, then tackled the wire harness, wire tuck and tank lift.

I say go for it I did mine yesterday it was super easy just watch the youtube videos and your set! I did all the relocations and tank lift and wire tuck in about 3 hours and most of the time I was sitting in a roll around computer chair so I wasn't bent over the whole time. Mine was a 2012 72

I put a 1.5" lift on my '06 XLC. I don't think I could have went any more on the lift. I also did the coil relocate.It was not too bad. Only thing is, I wish I had bought the ignition relocate as well. Mine is being held on with electrical tape for now. Gonna have to do something different soon. DK Customs rocks.

Of everything Ive rigged for an easy tank lifter while working, I now use a magazine rolled up under the tank (parallel to ground). It easy to adjust the height by squeezing the magazine roll. Just think before you work on a step and take a video (and whistle) while you work just in case you need a reference. Pics!!!! Cheers!

What tape did you guys use?
I don't want to use electrical tape due to the sticky adhesive residue it's gonna leave on the bike!
Got my kit and doing the install this weekend I think.
