    Default Pitbull Motorcycle Jack

    Anyone using a Pitbull motorcycle Jack to lift your RT? I have the air over hydraulic standard lift. According to Pitbull, I need the Dyna lift because the standard size jack will make contact with the exhaust.

    Any pictures of the lift under the trike is appreciated.

    Default Pittbull Jack

    I use a Pitbull jack to lift my 2014 RT with no problem. I did put a piece of 1/2" board (4" Sq +/-) on the on lift bar side toward the rear wheel on the frame and the front went across the main frame and the bars that run to the outside from the main frame. I did not take a picture but with me that is part of the course.

    The Pitbull lift has tie down points to secure your bike or Spyder. If used, it shouldn't be a problem.

    I have the foot pump style Pitbull, which I bought many years ago. Love it. I now also have a table lift (air), which does a great job too. Had to add 9" width to the 48" standard width to accommodate the wider front wheels of the Spyder. now I have to back the Spyders onto it, but I can do that! It was originally designed for standard trikes.

    ​Those same Jacks are yellow at Sears and blue at Harbor freight. Pit Bull does not manufacture them. They do use them. Just to clarify for the Newbies.

    Jack

    Even old "square Joe" uses one.
    All my life I wanted to be somebody, now I realize I should have been more specific.

    Regardless of what you use o jack up the Spyder, USE floor stands before working on your Spyder.
