• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anybody know a rolling caddy that fits a spyder?

I don't know what you call them, but I have seen wheels you can put under cars or motorcycles to roll them around a garage for easy storage or movement.
Anybody ever see one to fit the spyder?
 
I think snowmobile dollies will work for you. I used to have a classic Austin mini that I moved around in my garage with them. So I don't see why they would not work for the spyder.
 
dollies

Harbor Freight has a set for a car,you could use 3 and have a spare. They would handle the weight.
:agree: ............... But they also sell a much less expensive option .... the small wood w/ caster wheels furniture dollies .... 12" X 16" around $15 ea. you can buy Three .... I have them and they are great for the Spyder ....... I got mine at Home Depot for $ 8.00 each ...... 5 yrs ago ...... inflation :gaah:............. Mike :thumbup:
 
they are on sale right now with coupon for $11 something.

the one for cars is called a car dolly
the wooden ones are furniture dollies

I love the harbor freight furniture dollies. The wheels kept breaking on the stool that I use to role around in the garage when working on things at a kneeling level. So I took all the wheels off and mounted the stool to the furniture dolly and haven't had a minutes trouble.
 
Dollies...

There are the self rising models but a bit pricy when you need three. Then the jack her up and set her down on the smaller wheel type and of course the furniture dollies. The other option which I use cause I don't have to move the spyder around that much is the ATV/motorcycle lift. Not as easy but gets the job done. :thumbup:

Yep that works also ...... but make sure you strap your Spyder to that lift .... even a small bump could topple it :gaah:.......... not a pleasant thought ...... Mike :thumbup:

Depending on how far you have to move your spyder, this may work and is very inexpensive. I have two sheets that lay on floor on top of each other where the back wheel will be when I park. Then I just push(or pull when leaving) the rear end against the wall. A little silicone spray between the sheets makes it even easier. The sheets I have don't curl the way these in the link do... you might need to cut these to fit. Dan

You couldn't buy 4 casters for what those dollies cost, not to mention the premium hardwood and plush carpeting that's included.

I want to see a picture of that. I just had one of the wheels break on a stool I use all the time and was wondering what to do about it. If it works well I have two other seats I am going to convert including a Snap On one that has never worked right since it was new in 1972.
