A quick demo of Big Blue Motorcycle Lift with RT Mount

A quick demo of the Big Blue Motorcycle Lift with Can Am Spyder RT Mount.

Hmmm, I have a manual lift like the one you showed next to Big Blue, and if space is an issue, why not just pop the handle off and turn it 90*, against the wall and it would take up less space than Big Blue? I could also buy two manual lifts for the price of a drill powerful enough to run the Big Blue. I think I'll stick with the $80 one I have, but interesting lift indeed, just not practical for me. To each his own, but I'm not sold on it

Thanks for the video Purple Guy. Looks pretty solid and easy.

I am interested... how much is the lift and what size drill do I need?

I am also interested, I tried to look it up, but couldn't find it on the net. The web site on the side of the lift is not for lifts.

You need a pretty decent drill, the one I was using is a Hammerdrill, with the hammer turned off.
I have an 18v cordless drill that will lift the spyder but there's considerable strain on the drill.

Thanks for the details here... Now I gotta find some $$$ laying around...

Can you also lift from the left side as well as the right?

[cptjam]

Got one last week. Can't wait to play with it! I'll let you know if you can lift from the other side.

Me too but wondering what the procedure is to lift the RT? I have not tried it yet.

Does the Can-Am mount work for the F3T?

Thats a good question, the website just calls it a Can-Am Mount. They don't specify any models other than showing an RT in their picture.

Did you purchase one of these big blue lifts and if so have you used it on your F3?
We just purchased a good used one here in the Dallas area. When I called the Big Blue rep to order the Spyder adapter plate, he says their Can Am adapter only works on the RT model. At least I will be able to use it on Kathys RT but was hoping it would work on my F3T also. Thanks ride safe.

The mount only fits an RT.
I think it has to do with the shock placement on a F3 that they can't make an adapter that will work for a F3....

It only lifts from the right side...

[Dubliner]

In your video you mention the rear mounting “U” bolts fitted to the rear shock. Is this done when the Spyder is raised by you or part of the accessory bracket?
