I have this lift and must say it is just "OK". When it is fully extended the Spyder is quite rocky and tends to lean to one side.
It will not raise the bike high enough to change out your sway bar...

I put my Spyder on auto wheel Dolly's. That way I can move it around the shop without having to start it.
Also makes it easy to "tuck it in a corner"
I've been using the Ram X grip with the elastic tether for 10 years, both
on my RT-L and my previous BMW. Never had a concern for the phone
falling out. Thousands of freeway miles and Michigans...
175/55R15 on my 2017 RT....Love um!
Yes indeed on the star washers. My background is in pro audio, and I used star washers when mounting components to racks. Solved many noise and hum problems by ensuring a good bond between the...
Spyder is always on a tender when not in use, but I agree that a 5 year old battery is probably ready for replacement.
Problem solved!
Took the key out, waited 10 minutes and tried again. It still indicated 1st gear but this time it turned over and started.
The gear indicator then changed from 1st to neutral.
All...
Went to start my 2017 rt SE6 today and turned the key and the bike went thru the power up procedure
but the gear selector indicates 1st and the bike won't turn over.
Any ideas? Thanks
Just a note of endorsement. I have over 9K miles on my Q-5s (all 3) and they look like the day they were installed.
Best upgrade ever!
Having been one who has hit a deer @70+ MPH on a 2 wheel BMW and walking away,
I'll stick with ATGATT !
+1 What an improvement!
I have AAA, $480 for the year. Also have their AAA RV Plus membership which includes roadside assistance and towing
How do the foam grips impact the effectiveness of the heated grip?
Or..... You could go to Baja Ron's site and get the filter and seal kit for $13.95
Works for me!
Check your PM
I've always thought it would be nice to be able to raise and lower the power windscreen
on my 2017 RTL without having to start the engine. ie: for cleaning purposes.
Does anyone know of a way...

This company is fantastic. I too got the wrong size (M8) back in December. Went to install them today and realized they wouldn't fit.
One phone call and the correct size (M6) are on the way. They...
Don't know if these are available as E-Books or not but the series "Leanings 1,2,3" By Peter Egan, are a great read.
Ya, they are about 2 wheel motorcycles, but the stories are short and very...
A big +1 for STAR washers. When I was in the Pro Audio business, STAR washers solved a multitude of problems
from mounting connections to bad grounds (noise). A miracle cure and must have for all...
Couldn't agree more. And per your recommendation I did buy the Q-5 in a 205/60-15
My only concern in the OP was the age of the tire I received (3 1/2 years old)
I guess it's not that big of a deal...
I had the same experience when I bought the fronts from Tire rack.
Tires were about 4 months from Manufacture date.
Unfortunately Tire Rack doesn't carry the Q5 in the rear tire size.
I've reached out to Vulcan tire (via e-mail) about this.
I will let you know when or if they respond.
Just received a Vredstein Quatrac 5 from Vulcan tire with a manufacture date code of 4216
Should I be concerned with the age of this "new" tire?
Also are there any mounting suggestions for this...

If thats your only concern, I will include shipping.
Pictures per your request
Will post later today
Purchased this used, for my 2017 RTL and never installed it.
Decided, at my age, camping was a thing of the past.
Excellent condition
$300.00 Plus shipping
It's my understanding that the dealer cost for the 3 year BEST warranty is $600.
So anything under $700 would be a deal.
On a trip to Texas a few years ago ( on a two wheeled BMW with a tank bag) I photocopied the pages of the route I was taking and just swapped them out as I went along. This gave me the opportunity to...
