    Default Just ordered a lift table for the Spyder

    Working on my knees at Cowtown doing the NBV installs put a hurt on me and I'm just now getting better. I decided it was high time I went ahead and sprung for a good lift. I spent a few hours looking at all the different models and wound up going with the Weaver W-1500. The RT is right at 1000 lbs and I don't like the idea of using a 1000lb lift on a 1000lb bike when I could get a 1500lb lift for a couple of hundred more.

    I am going to have to make it a little wider but that shouldn't be a big deal. I'm looking forward to getting off my knees when I do oil changes and work on my Spyder and others.

    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!

    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"!

    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

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

    thats ok, rented a fork lift to get it up drive way after delivery truck drops it with lift gate. owner of rentals will send a manual lift as well to position it after its in garage. Owner of rental co. told me he will make sure its put exactly where I want it...very nice man.

    Default Lift table

    I unloaded my direct lift table on to a small utility trailer from the semi. Then pulled that into my driveway and backed in to my shop.

    Thinking of a two post lift. Also good for auto/truck and you can stand under while working under. Yes I do have the room.

    All my life I wanted to be somebody, now I realize I should have been more specific.

    Default Motorcylce lift mod

    Here's some pics of my Black Widow motorcycle lift modification to lift my Spyder. Two 1" black pipes hold the wood extensions. I had to put the front extension on the lift to fit the Spyder. I open the tire jaw all the way and the Spyder rear tire fits in.

    I have a 4 post car lift with a jack lift and a scissor car lift. Advantage of getting a car scissor lift is you can work on your car tires brakes etc easier. A little more expense but a lot more useable. I just built a wooden table I put on the scissor lift. It makes a super work area also when I need a bigger table and when I don't need it I simple remover the top.
