I’ve had my 1 1/2” DK lift done for some time now and it’s holding up nicely. I kept it on the tank when removing the tank for other work too. Looks and fits great
lol, yeah. Dwayne works on videos, and the rest of the time with Customer Service. We talk to hundreds and hundreds of folks each week....we hear it all. Plus, when designing parts we have to engineer into our parts the ability to adjust for Harley's varying production variables. (lack of consistency).
Us too! We were not doing much in the way of videos back then. Great to hear you are enjoying the parts and the Customer Service. Thank you for the comment. 👍
Most excellent video! I recently Tucked Wires, installed DK CUSTOMS 2" Gas Tank Lift, Coil and Ignition Switch Relocation Kit with Pro Spark Plug Wires... On my 2011 Nightster 1200 👍🤙✌️
Great job boys on the wire tuck. With the 2” tank lift, does it change the amount of fuel the pump can pick up or not really. Cheers and keep up the awesome videos.
It does not, the pump pick up on EFI bikes can move around to the lowest point. Here is a link to an interesting graphic (toward the bottom) www.dkcustomproducts.com/what-is-a-tank-lift-and-why-do-i-need-one.htm
For wrapping wires with a tape I'd personally recommend a fabric tape especially a good quality product. Coroplast is a great product looks very factory. Tessa makes a good fabric tape but really sticky and isn't as visibly appealing.
Gaffers tape (fabric type) may be nice. In normal applications it does not leave a sticky residue when removed. Will give it a try next time....but I think the heat will not be nice to the sticky stuff. Silicone tape is immune to the heat and leaves no residue.
@@DKCustomProducts corolplast is what I used when I worked for ford doing wiring harness repairs, it's oil resistant to a degree and has pretty good heat resistance.
Definitely interested in doing this to my 01 Sporty. I have OEM style turn signals with wires coming out of the signal that I want to clean up as well. Not sure if anyone has experience with that
Hopefully someone will chime in with some ideas. We normally remove the OEM signals and go with LED running lights/signals like seen in this video- th-cam.com/video/lwrr2oj2mFI/w-d-xo.html They can get really tucked in and are much brighter. You can see more details on them at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/22lr-led-front-running-lights-turn-signals-black-billet-universal-fitment.htm No matter what electrical we are doing we use silicone tape to help hide the wires and not make a sticky mess. Thanks for commenting! KP
@DKCustomProducts as of right now I'm using the OEM housings and swapping out the bulbs for LEDs and then adding resistors. I have an LED headlight and am looking to get an LED tail light as well, but I'll definitely consider that!

It gets warm, not too hot to handle, and less hot than the ignition key that is stock in that location on some HD models. There is a silicone isolator that come with the kit that goes between the ignition housing and the bracket. 👍 Thanks for looking at our parts. 👍😎👍
We have only ever used black, so could not say if other colors or transparent works as well as the black. I would think most folks would like to use black so it blends with the frame. Here is a link to black- www.dkcustomproducts.com/self-fusing-silicone-tape-perfect-for-wire-tucks-dk-sft-101.htm
I would get a 1" or a 1.5" with the Deluxe Option. You can see details and fitment notes at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/gas-tank-lift-kits-c4-334.htm
Hey I just ordered a xied for my super glide about to put new pipes on next weekend it's ganna to be just a week or so b4 I can get the 606 air cleaner ..you think it will hurt my bike to run it on stock air cleaner with new pipes an xied ..thanks
It will not hurt it. It will run better and like it. Then when you put the 606 on it will like it even more. Appreciate your business. Enjoy your ride! 👍
To each his own but to the tank lift & removing plastic make it look like one of those really skinny chicks that's 1/2 pretty & needs to eat a couple of square meals a week.
Yep, everyone has their own taste in looks. Here is a video about how/why Harley makes their bikes as a "blank canvas" - th-cam.com/video/__NE6h1DhCg/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate every upgrade that hides wires.
For sure! 😀
perfect timing, I just ordered my tank lift last night and you guys shipped it first thing this morning as always. Love doing business with you.
Right on! 👍
We appreciate your business, and I believe you will be well pleased with the Tank Lift.

Glad you are enjoying it, we appreciate your business.
Nice work, lads. Always thinking about the customer and not just trying to sell your own products!
Thanks for the comment, and glad to hear you're enjoying the videos.
YES, no Customers=no business. Customers are Always Top Priority!

Dwayne, does using "aftermarket electrical tape" void the warranty? ALWAYS use OEM HDMC® brand electrical tape!
😂😂😂👍
Good one! 😎
Comment for the algorithm brother👊🏻
Thank you for commenting! 👊🏻 MB
awesome stuff brother. What bars are those?
Thank you! Glad you like the video! I am not sure what bars are on this bike. It was not one of our own bikes! MB
ignition between the cylinders, how hot does the ignition/key gets?
It gets warm, not too hot to handle, and less hot than the ignition key that is stock in that location on some HD models. There is a silicone isolator that come with the kit that goes between the ignition housing and the bracket. 👍
Thanks for looking at our parts. 👍😎👍
Silicone tape must be black?
I’m find some silicone tape in store near the home but it’s transparent it’s doesn’t matter?
We have only ever used black, so could not say if other colors or transparent works as well as the black. I would think most folks would like to use black so it blends with the frame.

Nice job. Traditional electrical tape would be mess, if someone ever had to disassemble.
Thank you.
Yes, the electrical tape can get messy.
How much silicone tape do you need to do the tank lift?
Depending on how you wrap, it can take 1 or 2 rolls. I personally use just 1 roll, but I do know guys that use 1.5 or more rolls.
@@DKCustomProducts Thanks for your reply. How many metres is one roll?
@@Doors_of_Perception You're welcome. It's 10 feet or a little over 3 meters. Thanks for watching our videos!
@@DKCustomProducts Cheers guys! 🤟🏻
