    Great Video man… I liked it so much I picked up a set for my 21’ Street Bob.
    I bought the lift-kit from “ Dean Speed Customs “ here in the states….
    Those guys were cool as hell. ( The owner actually rides a Street-Bob ).
    He machined the brackets so the existing stock bolt fit seamlessly….. NICE 👌.
    A few bucks more than other companies that make them, but worth it ✅
    I just did the install today - What a F**kin Difference !!
    Bike looks tuff as hell now.…. This DEFINITELY gives it a Beefier Look.
    A buddy told me it also helps the bike run a bit cooler due to the increased air flow around the Motor 🤔……
    Sounds like a good deal all around ✅
    Haven’t ridden it yet, but I’ve been in that Garage 6 F**kin times already just staring at it 😆⁉️
    Thanks again for Posting- EXCELLENT VIDEO 💯% ❕❕❕

    In my opinion, it is all about the Profile of the Motorcycle or Car that you are customizing. Even though the tank lift is "just a little thing" you did to your Bike, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD" as to the overall look of your DYNA. Very nice!

    Dumb question but does this have any side effect on the bike? I have been speaking with a guy that said it effects fuel gauge precision 🤔

    Hello Mister Kiwi Rider, I am curious about fuel capacity after lifting the gas tank, Increased or decreased ? FXBB has small gas tank, any changes could affect riding range.

    Hi Bruce love the look, did the rise change the way your fuel gauge worked or your range?

    • @MisterKiwiRider
      @MisterKiwiRider  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers. Yes, due to the fuel hose being central on the tank I've lost a bit of fuel space which is now below the hose level. The fuel guage seems to be functioning fairly well still and reads about 20km below what it was at the stock position when full. What I gained in a custom look I lost in fuel miles but I'm good with that at this stage 👍
