Review on ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Bentolin 1.5" Gas Tank Lift Kit - Enhance Harley Sportster Iron 48 72 XL883 XL1200 1995-2017 by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The lift is actually 1.8 inches

Pretty decent and at a price I can't complain about. Pay close attention to the photos here. To reuse an existing gas tank bolt you must place that riser bracket into the gas tank grommets or your bolt will not be long enough (especially on the Sportster). Just look at the pictures the seller posted here and do it like this. I also recommend some type of thread lock to deal with the vibrations if you have a Harley. What I like best about this short riser is that I don't lose much fuel economy. Any higher and my 2016 Harley Davidson Forty Eight fuel pump can't deliver all the gas. If you are looking for a tank jack for a Harley 48 or 72, I do not recommend doing anything higher with a stock gas tank. I took off 1 star because these risers are actually 1.8" between fittings, not 1.5". Not the end of the world but I know how special Harley owners I am one of them :)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
