• 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.

Spyder Jack

I believe the PitBull and J&S are very similar in build as well as function, quality and cost.

And, yes as posted, the floorboards are Seal Floorboards and instal in about 10 minutes. Great quality as well as service. Also for those that need them, John is in facing financial issues since he spent time in ICU that insurance wouldn't cover. Your purchase would be a big help! Just sayin!
 
I use a pit bull air/hydraulic jack.

I would really appreciate any advice or photos underneath for placing this jack under the spyder rt. Tough for me to tell exactly how to do this safely and without damaging anything. Thanks!

If you look under your spyder there is a frame bar (for lack of a better word) that runs pretty much from the front to the back it is about 4" wide and maybe 38" long, this is part of the frame and that is what you position the jack under, of course if you position it towards the front, it lifts the front, position it towards the rear, and it lifts the rear, get it in the center, and it lifts the entire bike (Be extra careful with this position as it may be unsteady if not positioned properly.

It threw me also , but what I was thinking was, " Who the heck is Spyder Jack?" ;)

I use this one, that you can buy at Sears or Harbor Freight. Works well and I like it. (Bought mine at Harbor Freight for a little less money.)

Here is a forum search list you can check for lots of ideas about lifting your Spyder.


Later edit... oops I just noticed that this is a three year old thread that someone revived again. Oh well, it's still useful info. :rolleyes:
I had a Craftsman Jack like the picture. They work great. Deanna
 
J&S jacks

I emailed a query to J&S jacks over a month ago and have not heard from them. Was interested in jack for Spyder plus jack for Boulevard. Saw a video on how stable they were which really peeked my interest because the jack I now have feels so unstable. Guess my search goes on for stable jack.
 
J&S jacks do not work on the Spyder the site states.

But then again I am using a older jack and is similar to the pitbull jack and works fine lifting the spyder. Other have used Harbor Freight etc.
 
How about when on a ride

What do you do if you're on the road and you get a flat? Are there any jacks to lift the 14+ RT to get a tire fixed?

No need to jack it up for a roadside repair. Plug and air it back up. If the damage is to bad, call for a tow. [emoji106]
