Product Information

These Tank Lift Risers provide a simple and effective way to clean up the front end of any Harley-Davidson Sportster by lifting the fuel tank between 1"–3".

The added clearance allows wiring to be tucked neatly into the tank tunnel, dramatically improving the appearance of any Sportster with a tank lift setup. They are popular on bobber builds, wire-tuck projects, and riders upgrading their Sportster 883 fuel tank stance.

CNC-cut for precise alignment, each riser installs using OEM hardware and fits all XL883 and XL1200 models from 1986–2020+. When paired with coil or key relocation kits, they help transform the classic Sportster silhouette into a cleaner, more intentional custom style.

Riders lifting the tank more than 2" on 1995–2003 models may require minor rear tank mount adjustments.

What Our Customers Say

Really happy with the product. Took a while to get my order but they were out of the spark plug cables I ordered. I had to email and inquire what the deal was. They were super helpful once I initiated communication. Would have been cool to get some swag or something since they took so long. But the relocator is great. I really love it. And they responded promptly once I reached out to them. Their customer service is truly fantastic.

I had some questions on some bars, so I DMd them on Instagram. The dude I talked to was super helpful. I purchased the shirt because of his response. I’ll rep the brand due to the customer service.
