Default Tank Lift

Anybody out there with a bagger stuck a tank lift on there to get the the top end a little better for cleaning and wrenching. If so what did you use and any pics?

One of the forum members fabbed up his own lift a couple of months ago...

My tank lift was required to clear 1 1/8" taller motor.Only way it is noticeable is sitting on seat or having it parked next to a stocker.

Thanks guys, been a while I was doing some cams and busy. Looks like a great set up. I just want to get it up a little more for cleaning and such. I guess I really dont want to start messing things up to much I just want to get it up a little. I will post some pics when I am done. Haven't decided if I am going to order something or just fab it up. Anybody have some good fab drawings, I like the ones on napkins with beer stains on them
