    Default Anybody know a rolling caddy that fits a spyder?

    I don't know what you call them, but I have seen wheels you can put under cars or motorcycles to roll them around a garage for easy storage or movement.
    Anybody ever see one to fit the spyder?

    Harbor Freight has a set for a car,you could use 3 and have a spare. They would handle the weight.

    I think snowmobile dollies will work for you. I used to have a classic Austin mini that I moved around in my garage with them. So I don't see why they would not work for the spyder.

    I've considered these, but how do you get the bike onto them? I guess it would work for long-term winter storage? $50 for a set of two at HF https://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-vehicle-dollies-67511.html

    I love the harbor freight furniture dollies. The wheels kept breaking on the stool that I use to role around in the garage when working on things at a kneeling level. So I took all the wheels off and mounted the stool to the furniture dolly and haven't had a minutes trouble.

    Default Dollies...

    There are the self rising models but a bit pricy when you need three. Then the jack her up and set her down on the smaller wheel type and of course the furniture dollies. The other option which I use cause I don't have to move the spyder around that much is the ATV/motorcycle lift. Not as easy but gets the job done.

    Yep that works also ...... but make sure you strap your Spyder to that lift .... even a small bump could topple it .......... not a pleasant thought ...... Mike

    Default snow sledding plastic

    Depending on how far you have to move your spyder, this may work and is very inexpensive. I have two sheets that lay on floor on top of each other where the back wheel will be when I park. Then I just push(or pull when leaving) the rear end against the wall. A little silicone spray between the sheets makes it even easier. The sheets I have don't curl the way these in the link do... you might need to cut these to fit. Dan

    You couldn't buy 4 casters for what those dollies cost, not to mention the premium hardwood and plush carpeting that's included.

    I want to see a picture of that. I just had one of the wheels break on a stool I use all the time and was wondering what to do about it. If it works well I have two other seats I am going to convert including a Snap On one that has never worked right since it was new in 1972.
