Not 1.5 inches. Not 1.17 inches. It's 1.75 inches.

The title of this ad says 1.5 inches. The photos in the ad show a screen diagonal of 1.17 inches. Got 1.75 inches. Correct your addition and get the correct measurements.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Functionality

Great product for the price.

The product gives my tank the desired buoyancy. This is a fairly simple setup. Strip away the old and step in with the new. As another reviewer said, the top screws have to go in or they won't work.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Null

Be careful when installing

Bought more than others because of the design. They worked well but were a little flimsy. Don't expect it to break as I installed some appropriate spacers as I felt they were needed. But I'll keep an eye on her. I recommend not bending them at all when installing.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are cons

Quick, easy installation

Does exactly what it says - lifts the tank. Looks good. Very easy installation. Did it myself in about 25 minutes (I'm 72 years old). The hardest part is loosening the tank bolts to lift the tank. The details are solid. You don't like the included metric nuts and bolts, but a quick call to ACE Hardware will solve the problem. I ride a 2015 Iron 883.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Communication with seller

But exactly what I was looking for.

This item is great, just what I needed, but it doesn't fit my Sportsster. I have a custom '07 Sportster. The problem for anyone wanting this is that the tank cannot be raised high enough without hitting the riser on my bike. This is because the riser is facing the rider. I have to replace the riser to use them but they still look good.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Quality, Simple and Effective Mod

Great Quality and Easy Install! It took me maybe 10-15 minutes on my 2017 Iron 883. - Seat removed - Tank completely removed (since fork lock only blocks front lift) - 1.5" lifters attached to front of tank. (out of tank) - everything reconnected. (I also recommend using threadlock to ensure everything is locked securely, especially over time with Harleys due to riding and rumble.) I would recommend a subtle but effective simple mod for your bike to others.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • No

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…

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