    Default Balance

    Slide the Jack under the Spyder from the left side. Have the rear most Jack rail directly under the driver's foot peg. This should put the rail near the rear shock. Look underneath to confirm. Start lifting.

    I drive the spyders' front wheels up on a couple pieces of 2X8s to provide a little extra room before lifting. Then I slide the jack in and always look underneath to make sure the jack rails will be in contact with the bikes' frame and nothing else.....

    I use J&S jack. Balance is great and it is safe to store on it! Not cheap but you get what you pay for
