Default TANK LIFT! The Ghetto Glide just got more ghetto.

I've always loved tank lifts on dynas and sportsters, so why not on a touring bike? Raised the rear .5" and the front about 1.5". Cut out some brackets for the front with some metal scrap, nuts and bolts in my friends garage, and used a spacer found on the ground for the rear (doesn't get more ghetto then that).

Love the Air Cleaner with stock looking cover, what is it? How did you accomplish that?

That does give your bike a great look. Really shows off the motor which I like. Well done!

Do you have to braid your pony tail into the whip before you ride to become one with the bike?

Sorry, I could not resist after having to set through Avatar this weekend
