My wife has a bike just like this. Help me understand the benefit/reasons behind a tank lift.

Hiya mate
For me i like the look of a chopper with the tank sitting with space to the rocker covers
When i ride i feel like i am in Easy Rider with the tank angled up at the front
Plus being able to see the top of the engine is cool and makes cleaning easier
I reckon Kandy would love one
The lift i went with is a bit flasher than just a couple of pieces of flat with holes

Always wondered what my bike would look like w/ tank lift. Must say I do like it! For all the same reasons Craig.  :2vrolijk_21:

I will also say that it also changed the buffering that I used to get.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic guys and gals. I like the looks of the tank lift and have thought about doing it but I have a few questions for anybody who has done this. Does the lifted tank affect fuel capacity and how accurite is the fuel gauge after the lift? Also do you need to extend any fuel lines or wires? Thanks all!!

The fuel capacity is almost unchanged if u also lift the back.  Only had to extend the fuel line

Also, my fuel gauge has never been very accurate anyway

On my bike i have lost about 1 litre of capacity and my fuel gauge reads lower than what my real fuel level is
Not a problem as i just keep an eye on my speedo for klms travelled
Worth it for the different feel the bike has (all in my head but makes me happy)

  Thanks for the info Craig!! Did you lift the front and back, or just the front?
