    Northern Tool has a really nice aluminum lift that I bought for my 2010 - works with the 2014 too...

    i got mine for $49.99 with their coupon....
    sign up for their mailing list, and you'll get coupons and you will save BIG TIME....
    you can also use this jack from the side to pick up your SPYD3R completely off the floor, all 3 wheels... just BE CAREFUL when doing so....

    I have a Harbor Freight, 1000 pound capacity lift right now...
    I'm hesitant to use it with the 1062 pound RT-L...
    At the most; there's a minimal chance of something ugly happening...
    ...But if it does?

    Most of those jacks are made by the same Chinese company. They work fine. I use mine to lift my Honda Valkyrie, almost 900 pounds. Mine is a Sears.

    Are you sure its not 1500lbs. The only 1000lb lift is the table.
    I don't remember HF ever offering a 1000lb ATV lift.

    I have a Craftsman floorjack that works just fine. It is a 2 thousand pound capacity. the lighter one should work OK also.

    This is going back about 10 years...
    It worked perfectly for my Grizzly "686"... at only 600 pounds!
    With my luck; I'd find myself trying to bench-press the bike, and in my pants at the same time!
