Well..!!

many of us use the motorcycle/ATV lifts from harbor freight or the ones from sears. There is also a thread on how to convert harbor's drive on motorcycle lift to work with roadsters. I use the aluminum fast pump 1500 lb lift from sears in pretty yellow..!! :thumbup:

The Harbor Freight one is on sale. It's only $299 with a coupon. Might be making a trip there today. hyea:

i would think twice about using this lift for an r t . you would be pretty close to it's limit. i know some rt owners have done it. maybe they can chime in.opcorn:

Great Lift

I got the one from SEARS on sale $79...delivered to store for free......It's the red one .....I compared it to the H.F. one and decide the Sears was better for a few reasons......Mike..........................PS....I did discover that if you tapped the release lever with your fist you could actually lower the lift 1/8 inch at a time, that's really nice when you are trying to line up bolts to frame holes etc.........Mike...:thumbup:

I got one.

Went to Harbor Freight today and used my $400 off coupon. :yes:

I have an idea that is somewhat different than other mods for using with a Spyder. As soon as I start, I'll start a new thread with pictures.
