    make sure you OPEN the link, and PRINT the COUPON... it'll be $79.99, without the coupon, it's $99.99, or even $149.99..... if there is not a HF in your area, you can call and order it, by using the coupon code number.....
    GOOD LUCK guys n gals....

    Default jack points

    I have a two-wheeler friend that has one of these and I need to replace the plugs, wires, and exhaust o-rings on my bike. Where, underneath the Spyder RS, is the best place to lift the front end?

    Default I use it!

    I use this jack...works great. Good value for the $'s. Inpsect the contents. I was lucky, had all the parts to assemble it. However, they were loose in the box and could have easily got lost....check your box to make sure it doesn't have holes or other ways for the parts to fall out....

    i go straight in at the front or side-ways at mid-ship... depending on what your needs are... at mid-ship, i can get all 3 wheels off the floor, but understand that when lifting like this, it is best not to get too comfortable under your SPYD3R, because it isn't the most stable and could fall over... when lifting the front, i ALWAYS put the emergency brake on, and a piece of 2 X 4 to lock the read wheel... whatever you do, do it safely....

    The HF jacks work good. With the yellow ones just don't be shy about stomping on the pedal fully to lower it slow and smooth.

    Is there any benefit to the aluminum jacks that run $175 at HF and Sears? Other than lighter weight and the opportunity to spend more money?

    Nope...
    Now that the Missus has realized the weight of the new bike, and the rated capacity of my current lift, (only 1,000 lbs...); I think that I'll run this by her again...
    She might authorize the expenditure!

    I had my old lift set up with a set of nylon tie-down straps, that I'd use to lash the bike to it solidly...

    The HB ATV lift is a great jack for the money.
    However, I HIGHLY recommend you add some HB plastic car ramps to you tool inventory. Then you pick up your with the jack and then sit it down on your ramps. What I do pick up my , place the ramps under the front wheels and inverted cinder block under the rear wheel then set the bike down on them. I pull my jack out and I can get to any place underneath my bike. I just reverse the process when I am finished.
