its from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/high-position-motorcycle-lift-99887.html

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.
Anyone Use This Lift For Spyders

Don't know..!!
I agree in that the reach looks a bit short. You would have to remove the tupperware on the side you are using it for full contact. There is a better one but much more expensive. I use the atv/motorcycle lift which works well. Got mine through sears for a bit more but better quality. Maybe someone here has one and knows for sure...:dontknow:

....................I bought a similar style lift ( in that it has the two arms ) from Sears about two years ago ...on Sale for $79 and I really like it.....Harbor freight has almost the same thing as Sears ......They both operate the same way a regular car / truck floor jack does .........Mike :thumbup:

Bough this from Sears several months ago on sale with free shipping all the other jacks did not offer sufficient clearance to lift the Spyder without driving it onto something first.

Has extensions so you can lift an additional two inches but still use stands for extended work. Fast and smooth jacking up but drops like a rock if not careful and has a mechanical lock.

THIS LOOKS LIKE THE ONE I BOUGHT ON SALE FOR $79 ?
.....As stated above They will drop rapidly if you press down on the release pad.......However I learned a little trick that will only drop it about 3/16 th inch at a time ........Tap the release pad with side of your fist.................I also lowered the Black Cushion pads on the frame which makes it slide under the Spyder easily..................just sayin,.....Mike :thumbup:

These are the ones Lamonster has in his garage.
I have that one and it works good, but it isn't as good as the one above. Lamonster has some of these in an old stuff pile by the back fence!
It will if the back air shock is pumped up to at least around 50 lbs +. At least mine slides under my RT. It does hit the water deflector though. It does have a very good drop rate control valve.
That's the same lift as the Craftsman. Just different label, so buy for the best price.

We have no issues with the harbor freight atv jacks fitting under our RS' s. Also, The trick to getting the harbor freight ones to lower slowly is to push the peddle all the way down and hold it down. The spyder will lower slowly. If you release the peddle or try to feather the peddle it comes down like a stone or jerky. It's a little backwards in thought but works.

This is the one I have. It is a tight fit to slide it under the Spyder, but I found that if I lift up on the floorboard as I slide it under it then slides easily in. It doesn't take much effort to get that clearance - just an easy pull up.
I have had this lift years before owning a Spyder so if I was purchasing a lift for the first time I would be looking at the other one Sears sells.
