Congrats on doing it yourself! After 200 miles or so, crawl under and check that the bolts are still tight. Good job on getting it done.

Ronbar
The BEST two mods: a Ronbar and a proper Laser alignment. Makes a world of difference, and the best bang for the buck, hands down! If you are out west, come see me. I will install a Ronbar and align your Spyder. Even if you are not, everyone needs an excuse to come to Las Vegas! A safety consideration! Give SpyderAnn a call to set it up!

How did you get the 22" of clearance under the bike to install?

Here's what I did. First I bought the Craftsman ATV/MC lift. I raised the bike up enough to set it on 1 concrete block under each wheel.

Then I put the lift on a pallet and raised it high enough to put 2 blocks under the front wheels. Because of the height I was raising it on the lift, I had a friend over to help steady the bike, just to be on the safe side!

Lift
Use a craftsman mc lift. Raise as high as possible, set jack stands under "A" arms. Put jack under left wheel. Raise. Lift jack stand. Do right side. You have to have jack stands that go 24 inches. We used blocks, pavers, wood. All a safety nightmare! Use caution, and safe equipment. In a pinch, 4 strong men can lift a Spyder. A pit can be used, or tall ramps. Just be safe.
