Here's the thread I started in case anyone else was interested =>Tank lift for sale post

I'd gladly make you one. I'll need you to read the thread and reply to me if you're interested.

That looks nice EagleArms! Especially with the black color of your bike (makes the color matching easier). How did the install go with the instructions I sent? I noticed you didn't have any further questions.

P.S. thanks for the pictures.

The installation was a breeze once I drained all the gas. It took maybe 15 minuts. The instructions were very well written!

That thing looks sweet. I am sold. I will have to do that to mine when it finally gets here. Thanks for the pics, before and after. I was wondering how much of a difference it actually made and now I can see. Looks great!

Very nice, was wondering why you didn't paint it black before installation.
