ChopperStyle Tank-Lift,
US #D515,007
Due to the high demand for our product,
I have come up with this typical frequently asked Questions
page. It is my hope that it answers any questions you may have. If
I have missed anything, please feel free to E-Mail or call us.
Q: Will the installation of the
Tank-Lift require replacing the crossover fuel line?
A: With a 2 lift, the
crossover fuel line is generally always long enough to make it.
Whereas the 3 lift will more than likely require replacing the
crossover line. (We supply extra fuel line in all the Tank Lift
kits.)
Q: What is the effect on the fuel
gauge?
A: The typical effect
on the fuel gauge shall be as follows, with the tank at stock height
when the gauge shows empty, you will generally get about 25 miles
before you run out, with the Tank Lift installed, and the gauge
shows empty, you will now have around 45 miles before you run out,
most people like this feature, (it's better than showing a Ό tank of
fuel left, and being empty.)
Q: Will I have to replace or splice any
wiring?
A: No, all Harleys come
stock with lots of extra wiring under the seat. We have not seen or
heard of anybody having to extend or splice any wiring during a Tank
Lift install.
Q: Will I have to remove the tank
during installation?
A: No, you will not
need to remove the tank, only the bolts holding the front of the
tank need to come out, and the rear bolt under the seat loosened.
Installing the Tank-Lift is easy, with a minimal amount of
mechanical skill. The kit comes with very comprehensive
installation instructions and all necessary hardware. Note:
California Models come with an extra length of vent hose for the
front top of the tank, if needed.
Q: Is there any effect on the petcock
(carbureted) or EFI.
A: None
Q: Will there be a gap between the
front of tank and the frame?
A: Of course. But you
really have to look for it. It is not that noticeable. And the
effect and custom look you get from the lift clearly outweighs this.
Q: Can I get one in chrome?
A: We have powder
coated the bracket black to match the frame, so it does not stand
out against the frame, chroming it in our opinion would not look
right unless you have a chromed frame!. Plus it would increase the
cost of the product, which we would pass on to you the consumer. If
you need yours chromed after you purchase, see your local chrome
shop.
Q: Will I have to relocate my turn
signals?
A: 99.9% of stock bikes
will not require this. Some models may require rolling the controls
on the handlebars forward a little, or raising the position of the
bars up some. But this is the exception, not the norm. Lots of
aftermarket kits are available to relocate handlebar-mounted turn
signals to the front forks if needed, for that trick custom look.
Q: Which lift is right for my bike?
A: I hesitate to answer
this question, because you know what opinions are like! Everybody
has one! And my personal preferences may not be your preference.
But since I get hit with this question on a daily basis, I feel
compelled to answer. With that said, here are my preferences.
(Please do not take them to heart!), as everybody has their own idea
of what they like best.
1997 and up WideGlide,
2 or 3 both look great.
1997 and up, all other
Dynas, (FXR, FXDL, FXDX) 3 only, (2 not available at this time)
1999 and up Softails 2
or 3, In my opinion the FatBoy and Heritage, look better
with a 2. Deuce, NightTrain, Springers, SoftTail Custom and
Standards both 2" or 3" look great.
1997 and up Touring, I
like the 2 for the Baggers, RoadKing, RoadGlide, Electra and
Ultras. But have many satisfied customers using a 3.
Note: Tank
Lifts will not fit Evo Style split tank models
I hope this has answered all your
questions. And I would like to personally thank you for placing
your order. Enjoy the custom look of your ChopperStyle Tank Lift.
