Installation Steps
-
Remove Seat
-
Loosen rear tank bolt. ( do not remove )
-
Remove front tank bolt. Keep washer(s) & nut, they may be used with the tank lift kit.
-
Carefully raise the front of the tank up and follow fitment note below*
After you have verified fitment/made any necessary adjustments continue the install. -
If your tank has a fuel crossover, it is probably long enough, but you may choose to replace it anyway with the new one provided. If you do, drain the fuel from the tank into a proper gas can.
Install new hose with the clamps provided in the kit. -
If the vacuum line is restricting the tank from being raised, remove the 3 bolts from the tank console, then lift the console high enough to unplug the vacuum line from the nipple. Follow the line down the side of the frame and remove it from the canister nipple. Install the new vacuum line that came with the kit. Re-install the console with the 3 bolts.
-
If some wires are restricting the tank from being raised, gently pull them (do not yank) to get enough slack.
-
Mount each bracket to tank ears with the threaded end of the bracket facing the backbone.
Install with the provided washers and nuts loosely on each side. Then, lower the tank down until the bottom of the tank lift bracket holes match up with the factory tank mounting holes.
If you have Curved Tank Ears, place a spacer between the Billet Lift Brackets and the Tank Ears prior to installing washers and nuts on each side. -
Install the provided bolt through the lower holes in the tank lift brackets. Snug the nut up on this bolt, but do not tighten all the way.
If you have Curved Tank Ears, place a spacer between the bottom of the Billet Brackets and the frame prior to installing the provided bolt. -
Tighten the top two nuts completely.
-
Tighten the bottom bolt.
-
Tighten the rear tank bolt.
-
Install the seat and go for a ride!!!
Fitment Note:
Please make sure this mod does not interfere with any other mods/components on
your bike -like custom trees, handlebars, etc.
We are NOT responsible for any damage done to your bike because of the kit.
It is easy to check for clearance:
Turn your handlebars all the way to the left & raise tank up X inches to check
for clearance.
Turn your handlebars all the way to the right & raise tank up X inches to
check for clearance.
General Notes:
- The riders safety depends on the correct installation of this kit. Please do not attempt if you have any doubts of your ability to install.
- If your front tank ears are contacting the lift bracket, loosen your rear tank bolt and slide the tank ALL the way back in the oblong bracket hole. That will give you enough clearance between the tank ears and the lift brackets.
- Use blue thread locker on all threads at the front of the tank.
- Installing this tank lift will result in a slight weight distribution change on your bike.
- Steering may feel a bit quicker. Exercise caution as you get accustomed to the slightly higher center of gravity.
- Be aware that your gas gauge may read differently with the tank at a different angle.
- If you have the Machine Cut Finish, as little as 15 minutes with some chrome polish or other slightly abrasive metal cleaner will produce a mirror finish
