This is the TOP OF THE LINE Premium Tank Lift Kit. Our product line includes: 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5" and 3" rise kits...they are different (purpose-made & patented)...no extra metal or holes for multiple fitments, the lines match the lines of the bike. American Made. You probably will not need the longer fuel line, but it is included in case you do.
These are precision cut on our CNC machine from Billet Aluminum. You have a choice of the Machine Cut Finish, which can be polished to a Mirror Finish, OR choose the Powder Coat Black Finish.
Look at all the pictures...the BEFORE & AFTER pictures show what a difference this easy-to-install kit makes!
Now you can see your Rocker Covers! Without this Kit all that chrome is Hidden!
Reduces Buffeting. Air that was going over the top of the tank and hitting the chest of the rider is now going below the tanks, across the engine.
This is the way the Motor Company should have put the tanks - Much Cleaner Line!
Worried about running hot? This Kit Provides Better Air-Flow - Engine Runs Cooler
This is an EASY install - 10 to 20 minutes!
Fits All 1999-2017 Softail Models. Does NOT fit the M8 Softail. Does NOT fit the Split Tank Models.
The Deluxe Option lifts the rear of the tank AND allows you to move the tank back up to 1/2". It is a nice option for some applications, full details HERE.
IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE:
What we label a 1" Tank Lift is actually 1 1/8", the reason for this is to accommodate machining and hardware fitment.
Please make sure this mod does not interfere with any components on your bike - like handlebars, turn signals, custom trees, etc. You don't want to end up with a dented tank! Check for clearance before ordering. Checking for clearance not only allows you to insure fitment, it also allows you to see which size will look best on your bike.
We are NOT responsible for any damage done to your bike because of the kit.
It is easy to check for clearance, Before ordering:
1. With bike on kickstand, take the bolt out of the front of your tank.
2. Loosen (do not remove) the bolt(s) at the rear of your tank.
3. Turn your handlebars all the way to the left and raise the tank up your desired tank lift size to check for clearance issues.
4. Turn your handlebars all the way to the right and raise the tank up your desired tank lift size to check for clearance issues.
Be careful when lifting your tank, you do not want to hit against something (forks, handlebars, trees, blinkers, etc.) when checking for clearance.

Love it 3 people found this helpfulI got the 1.5" tank lift for my 05 softail deuce. I got the billet aluminum one and polished it to a mirror like finish easily with some blue majic metal polish and a dremel. Really happy how it looks. Had to use the included longer fuel line hose and clamps, mine was too short. 5 stars!

2012 Slim Tank Lift 0 people found this helpfulPicked up the 2" tank lift (Deluxe). Cleaned up the bike’s lines, improved airflow, and reduced wind buffeting. Easy install—just needed a longer fuel vent line for my 2012 Slim.

Lift Kit 0 people found this helpfulLove these lift kits. I put one on all three of my HD. Easy install.

This should be stock on HD’s…! 2 people found this helpfulIt’s a subtle upgrade and relatively simple install, but it makes a huge difference to the trained eye. Normies would easily over look it, but anyone who spends enough time around these bikes can easily recognize the higher sitting tank, which just looks so much better. On my ‘13 Softail Slim I went with the 2” lift and am absolutely thrilled I didn’t go lower. With my Biltwell 12” T-bars there was no issue with full lockout turns. I was not able to use the stock crossover fuel line, so the line included with this kit was a necessity, and I still had to trim about 1 1/2” off that line to get it to fit without kinking at the connection. Filled up at the gas station and my fuel gauge looked like it might be reading just under the full line, but I think the change is pretty negligible. And an added bonus, the speedo is practically staring at me now, so seeing the speed and reading my little lcd screen on the bottom of the gauge is even easier to read.

Top Notch 2 people found this helpfulI have an 07 fxstb, I ordered the 2in tank lift and I am super happy with my purchase. They look very well made, and the black powder coat finish looks awesome. They are pricey, but you get what you pay for in my opinion. Thanks DKCustoms!

Always a great experience! 3 people found this helpfulI have done this lift on my trike and softail. Opens up the heads perfectly. Easy cleaning, looks good, and helps with cooling especially on the TriGlide. Highly recommended!

Easy install, looks great!! 1 people found this helpfulLove the looks of this on my Softail. Was easy to install. Made the rear cyl run much cooler. Awesome product!
-
Simple part for a big change. 4 people found this helpfulBought the 2" (maybe could've gone higher...). It looks amazing, and really adds to the look of the bike. The airflow benefits are a win also. I wanted something like this to get my bike looking the way I wanted it to--DK did not disappoint! This is the most elegant version of a lift I've seen! Thanks!

Great look, great price!! 2 people found this helpfulEasy install, 2”, glad they sent new hose too!

2" lift review 3 people found this helpfulQuick and easy install. I personally had no clearance issue on my stock 2006 Softail Deluxe and I do feel less heat. I really like how much more I can now see the tops of my chrome rocker boxes and I also like the look of the higher tank. I HIGHLY recommend doing the install on an EMPTY TANK and installing the included longer fuel line. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

1” tank lift .Black P’C’d 3 people found this helpfulAs described as expected from DK. Needed only 1” for wiring after installing Springer on my Train.Quality is top notch. This is my 2nd to ,the other on my Sportster chop. Really opens up the neck area and rocker tops. The 1” is a little tight getting to the nuts to tighten. The right combination of extensions with the end being swivel type does the trick. Not hot yet but I can tell the heat is basically reduced on the top of the engine. Go for it.

Looks nasty!! 3 people found this helpfulHadn’t seen a deluxe with a 2.5” lift on it, So I bought one, smoothed it, polished it, and installed it. Looks friggen awesome and I’m sure it’ll run a lot cooler in the summer months. It was totally worth it. Looks gangster af. Also, I installed the “deluxe” option which worked out very well. Well thought out packaging, getting the longer crossover hose was bonus because it was most certainly needed in my situation.

Very Satisfied 1 people found this helpfulI am very pleased with the quality of this product. Looks fantastic and was easy to install. Very happy with this purchase!
-
What a difference! 1 people found this helpfulEverything as specified! The billet polished up beautifully. Easy install. Hardest part was draining the gas. Noticeable difference in oil temp and heat, especially in traffic, Noticeable improvement in "wind in the face" as well.
-
Outstanding quality 1 people found this helpfulExcellent product with great instructions. It really gives my Rocker C a bad ass look. Easy to install and amazing info on the website. I am looking for my next DK purchase.

I never give reviews, but....... 1 people found this helpfulAbsolutely love this product. It changed the way my Fatboy looks and definitely noticed the cooling effect right away. Install was a piece of cake!
-
Nice machine work 3 people found this helpfulI have not yet installed this item. Have tank off of engine doing the top end. I bought this mainly for the wind buffeting benefit along with extra cooling.
-
Looks Badass! 1 people found this helpfulIt worked out pretty well for me as I had to remove my tank for a new handlebar install. Might be a little tight getting in there without taking the tank off, but the fit and finish are worth it! Looks awesome!
-
DK Customs is the real deal for my Fatboy S 2 people found this helpfulThis tank lift kit changed the look, ride, and most of all lowered temp on TC #117.

98.9 0 people found this helpfulIt's all good but I left mine on the shelf. Went on easy but I felt the tank tab rubbing tight against my new LaPara wasn't a good idea, But that's just me, so don't let that discourage you from giving it a shot. Several purchase's from DK and I'll be back
