Looks good, I would have to have a bigger shop to fit it. Guess you can put it on wheel and a hitch and tow it with you.

Amen brother. Good choice!
I'd love to have a lift of my own also. Maybe one of these days!
-
Very Nice! I need one too.
-
Wow, that's like 2-1/4 bear skulls!

Let us know how it works out Lamont this is on my list for sure. I justify it with my financial consultant (aka wifey) by telling her "look how much money I will save by doing my own maintenance"!

Curious to see the spyder on the lift once you have it setup. I wouldnt think they would do wide enough . Dannymax had a good setup too.

First off I don't like the idea of having to work over the ramps on the outside so I'm going to cut the ramps so when I lift the Spyder the rear part of the outside ramps will stay on the ground and the front where the wheels rest will be fixed. This will allow me to get close to the Spyder for oil changes and such. I'll put a bump stop too for the front wheels.
Like that!
Pictures and how you did it - PLEASE

Lamonster, I looked at trying to modify to drive the Spyder forward onto the lift... but the 'frunk overhang in the front would hit the tire clamp..... I could remove the tire clamp, but I use the lift as much or more my other bikes as I do for the Spyder. Would be a PITA to remove it and put it back on...
I ended up cutting the bottom run of the tire clamp off on an angle... about 6"... ripped 2X4's to fit inside the rectangle tubings... and screwed a board to the ripped 2X4 for a stop for the back tire. To put another bike on the lift, I just slip the stop out of the tire clamp.... and can remove the plates for the Spyder front tires if I want to.... it does make a good place to lay tools..LOL... but platforms need to be removed to pull the drop section for bike rear tire removal.
Link is a picture.... couldn't figure out how to make it show....

Congrats!!!
Mine came in today also. Only, I don't have a tractor . It's all unpacked and ready to be walked into the garage. Just waiting till it cools down a little.
How long are the widening tubes you used?

It came with four tubes, I cut them to 32" and welded them together.

Looks like it could possibly be a rear fender idea?

Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,, The shop I'm working at has been trying to figure out a way to get the spyder on the lift and still be able to slap a bike on there without having to re-invent the wheel.. We can do this...thanks again for the idea!!! Gotta love them people!

Modifying Lift
I had my 2012 RT-S over to a friends home garage today to do some work on the lower side. Our knees and backs were killing us. He has a MC table lift but of course it is not wide enough to accommodate a spyder. I remembered your post about buying a new one. What did you have to do to it to accommodate the width of the spyder? Any info would be helpful.

It came with four pipes so I just cut them all and welded them in the middle and called it good. You could just buy longer 1" pipe if you don't want to do any welding.
Love my lift.
