Well done....
Don't know the model you have but if it is an SE puting it in 1st gear will not help if the park brake is not used best block the rear tire as well . Have seen others use this method as well but the ramps make it cleaner and the price is right. Now to enjoy the new ryde...

What a great idea! I have been trying to find a solution for the lift height. Thanks!

I considered the man hole cover as there is one right in front of my house for the rain run off on the street. Being here in Fl. though, no telling what is living in there. I chickened out and rented the ramps.

A wise choice!
So far, no one has attempted this approach. And if you do... Please! I don't want to know about it!

I have done it this way on 3 spyders. I put the ramps on the tailgate though. Tie it off with straps for safety because it will want to drift back down.

dang! now they tell me...I did figure out my 14 RTL should NOT have been ridden on a ranch road during a club ride a few weeks ago when I had the side covers off the piece they attach to is cracked every where it attaches those lower pieces to, lucky me that piece is only around $80....but getting the sway bar out was interesting on a harbor freight jack....had my neighbor come supervise in case the bike toppled...

The ramp way looks good if you can count on the weather where you live. I can't so I used my motorcycle jack under the front end, put jack stands under the shock mounts, let the jack down and put a cement block across the m/c jack with a 2x6 on top of that. Worked fine.

Wow, that is a great idea. Is the install pretty straight forward after getting it up high enough? I am going to give it a try this year.

The F3 is the easiest install but the other models aren't all that much more work. Other than getting the height needed to remove and replace the sway bar itself, the install is pretty straight forward. A good number of riders have done this install themselves. And you do not need to have the Spyder raised up high through the entire process. If you're using ramps or a full lift it's fine. But you only need to have the additional height during the few minutes it takes to get the OEM bar out and the BajaRon bar in. Before and after this step the Spyder can be lowered to a much more reasonable height.
If you think you can get the height, it is most likely that you'll find the rest of the process easy enough. It takes the average person about 1.5 hours to do the job, start to finish.

It is very straight forward on F3 just did mine couple of days ago, your only challenge is raising the spyder up, 22" inches is lot heigher than you think. Ron provides exemplary customer service so you are not alone you can bug him anytime along the process .
