it looks interesting and costly. I looked around the internet and it looks like it is about $515.00 plus shipping. if my conversion form pounds to dollars is close. its about 395 pounds. So I don't know if that is do able for a lot of people.

At www.liftandstands it's $685 plus $40 +/- shpg for the big blue but it doesn't show spyder attachment.

on one of the websites it says you get one set of attachments for your bike free with purchase. SO, I don't know if that means what you need for teh spyder or not.

That is a well thoughtout and made lift. Worth the investment if you don't have any lift system. :2thumbs:

:agree: You only have to have the Spyder land on your chest once :shocked:; and you'll understand how expensive; "cheap", can truly be! :2thumbs:

It would not be close to my standard. Might be alright for the casual use, but the drive system looks subject to early failure for any prolonged use.

When searching for lift information, you might be confused by the different websites. Many of these are affiliated with Quasar Products Limited. All those in RED are really the SAME company.

Go back and listen closley to the carefully worded sound track as they describe the "DISPLAY LIFT". There is no way I would put my $30,000 Spyder on that lift nor would I get under the 1000 lb Spyder and yank on a wrench. The foot print is way to small for that thing to be stable enough to do maintenance on a Can Am Spyder. We'll be reading about the serious injuries or worse when people start doing other than " DISPLAYING" their Spyders.

The one above might be more for display, but the big blue should serve its purpose for general maintenance. I have had some in depth conversations with the Canadian distributor and he says they have been in use for a few years. After doing a lot of reviewing I have ordered one and he emailed me today to say the Spyder mounts are now available and he should be shipping it shortly! I have a small area to work on my Spyder, so this should be perfect! I will post some thoughts on it once I have assembled and put it to use. I think it will be more stable then a Jack!

He told me it should ship in a couple of weeks, so as soon as I have a free weekend I will take some pics and post them in this thread! :thumbup::thumbup:

I first bought a very popular lift and the first time I put my $30k spyder on it and noticed how much it moved I told myself "There is no way I am getting under this!" Then found the trike table lift by Redline Engineering and ordered it and have used it many times in the past month with no safety concerns. Designed to handle up to 1500lbs although I know it was tested for up to 2500lbs.

Hi All from way down under (NZ) I am just about to pull the trigger on a big blue lifter and have read all the feeds on this forum. Can anyone that has one of these lifter now give me a progress report on how they are working out for you . Cheers Richard

I have the Big Blue lift and Spyder stabilizer kit. It is absolutely awesome to use and work with. It lifts my '17 RTL to chest height and makes working on it a breeze. I bought it after trying one of the ATV lifts for a while which was handy but not stable enough. Its easy to operate and can be hand operated with a ring spanner (doubles as a workout) or the preferred method a 5/16" Hex to 1/"2 Square drive for your favorite cordless drill and a socket.

You attach it to the swing arm under the shock, and you remove the Right floorboard (RTL) to anchor the floorboard mount.

I have one issue - and its of my own doing - the lift wont fit under my RTL. I have to lift it a little with the ATV lift, onto blocks, then swap the ATV lift with the Big Blue, then reverse the process. All because I went with a lower spring kit for my Wilbers Shocks.

Thanks Askitee , Sounds good and looking forward to changing swaybar and suspension when it arrive but coming from the UK so as they go back into lock down this week I'm not sure how long it may take to get to me.

Thanks for that ,watched your video before going ahead . So do you prop your bike up with anything else once up in the air and is it quite safe to work under with out any other support

I have one to sell! 1/2 of new, or interesting trades. Used once, then we sold that bike. Set up for an RT. Perfect condition. Joe
