    I had spacer bushings with my kit. I bought the 3 inch deluxe kit. Had to use the extended hose. I really appreciate that supplying that DK. I've just put on the front so far. Looks good, but my brackets seemed wider than my frame. Had to use an impact to tighten everything up at the bottom where my brackets attach to the frame. Looks great though

      Glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, HD tolerance vary quite a bit, sometimes they need to be pulled in like you described. We appreciate your business. 👍

    Did you have to change the vent line and cross over hose? Thanks.

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  7 років тому

      It varies bike to bike, because Harley is Not consistent in how long they make their hoses. But most of the time a 2" will fit with no change in hoses needed. All kits come with the hoses, in case they do need to be changed.

    What does this change the fuel level indication and accuracy ?

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  3 роки тому +2

      Good question. Depends on the bike and the size lift. Anywhere from no change on the Touring, Softail & Dyna models with up to a 2" lift (and deluxe option) to as much as a 1/4 gallon on other configurations. Here is a write up on it with a graphic of what the gas does in the tank-

    • @DKCustomProducts

      @@irakli9604 It is a vacuum line, not a fuel line. It might also be what some folks call a windshield wiper fluid line. If you received a Tank Lift Kit from us and the line was not long enough, you can give a call or email and we have some...but it would be faster and less expensive to get it locally at a parts store.

    I’d like to see a video of converting the ignition switch to the dash on the older street bobs. Can’t find a how to On this at all besides botched versions of it.

      We have not done this ourselves. It is something we may do at some point in the future, and if we do, we'll make a video.

    Why am i having problems getting slack in my wiring? I have zero tried pulling the wore nothing comes up. Is there any solution to this issue?

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  Місяць тому

      What year model bike do you have?
      It may be the fuel cross-over tube that is stopping it from raising, not the wires. (IF you has a fuel crossover line)
      It could also be that someone zip tied the wires too tight under the tank, which is preventing the tank from moving up because of the tight wires. MB

      Thank you for the response

      That may be the case because the owner before me hated wires I’ll have to look under the tank, but the crossover line is good so is the vent hose. I did notice the cable tie underneath the dash cover can be a little bit slack if I cut the cable tie off.

    whay is the benefit of lifting the tank. or is it just a cosmetic look..thanks

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  7 років тому +3

      It increases air flow over the engine, cooling it down 10-15 degrees. That redirected air is no longer hitting the rider in the chest, resulting in reduced buffeting. Expose more chrome for looks, and makes cleaning the top of the rocker boxes easier. ua-cam.com/video/NiCQL4ffw7g/v-deo.html

      smokeGR20 will throw ur fuel gauge off if that's important to you, you can do with out this

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  6 років тому +3

      On 2014's and up we have not seen it changing the fuel gauge at all. On earlier years, the fuel gauges were rarely accurate, and it does change...sometimes making them more accurate, sometimes a little less.

    • @devilsheadchoppers5346
      @devilsheadchoppers5346 6 років тому +1

      Honestly it looks way better. Subtle change in the lines of the bike. 2" works easy on softails. 2.5 on dynas, sky is the limit of sportsters. Will change the fuel gauge a little bit but its not accurate to begin with. When you hit OMG LO RNG status you have about a gallon left on Dynas and Softails.

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  5 років тому +1

      @Mike Greer Yes, besides better air flow over the engine, more chrome showing and easier to clean, for many it does make the speedo easier to see. All depends on how tall one is and how they sit.

    Only one problem. If you ride long distance, you're going to lose a little bit of your fuel capacity. Maybe a half gallon or so.

    • @DKCustomProducts
      @DKCustomProducts  Рік тому +1

      Depends on the bike, and how tall a tank lift.
      I have run quite a few bikes, with 1.5" tank lifts, til they were sputtering as I pulled into a gas station...then filled the 6 gallon tank with 6 gallons. Sometimes folks get confused by the MTE reading or a low fuel light.
