Finally found the tank lift I was looking for in the JP cycles catalog and they are out of stock and not sure when they will have it in stock again thats frustrating!!!!

just venting steve

 

Why not make some?

 

I didn't even think of it. I been working with steel fo a long time and it would be simple to do, Im gonna get on it thanks proco

I made a two inch lift by making two plates 3" long and 1" wide drilled a hole a half inch into each end. used the stock lower bolt and a 1/2" long bolt on either side of the top with a chrome crown nut on each side. I went to the auto parts store and bought a longer piece of vacume hose and for less than $2 I raised the front of my tank 2" It is mounted solid and looks like it came that way. If your going to lift it any more than 2" you will need to pick up a piece of hose and two hose clamps for the lower tank crossover.

 

Jimbo...got any pictures?

 

Yes, pictures please!

 

I'll try to get some pic's tomorrow. The only digital camera I have is my kids cell phone and they aren't very clear.

 

Alright fabed up the lift looks just like the one in the catalog. I got some steel stock a piece of tubing a 2" by 1/8 strip and a piece of 3/4. I bent the 3/4 at two 45s rounded off the edges and then welded a piece of the 2" x 1/8 onto that then i cut the tubing at 3" and welded that to the 2" x 1/8 piece of metal. Just primed it all up and put one coat of black paint on it, tomorrow I will put a second coat then clear coat and put it all together. I put it together to see what it looked like and I am very happy with it.

Forgive me for being ignorant. But what is a tank lift? I'm guessing it's a bracket to riase the tank off the frame an inch or two. Why?

 

It makes the frame looked chopped and streched
