• 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 RT Lifting

Has anyone used the Harbor Freight Tools [FONT=&quot]High Position Motorcycle Lift[/FONT]
It say it will lift up to 1100 lbs.
Or what is a good not super expensive jack to lift the Spyder RT, What motorcycle jack is being used I don't need it yet but why wait until I do. I like the J&S Line up but $$$ The Quasar lift also $$$. I am going to want to install a new sway bar to limit the body roll So I'm going to want to lift as high as possible.
 
Little checking..

I also use the :agree: craftsman one. I also noticed that the harbor freight by us no longer carries theirs was basically the same but blue.....

I used the less expensive 1500 lb. Capacity ATV/Motorcycle Lift Pittsburgh® Automotive - Item#60536 and built a simple wood 13 x 13 in platform made from a 2x6 and some scrap particle board I had., lifted the Spyder to the max height of the 60536 lift, dropped it onto 3 Ton Jack stands, dropped the jack, added the platform and prepped everything before extracting the old swaybar. Jacked it up off the jackstands and the bar dropped out on it's own, popped the new bar in, then lowered it back to the jackstands to bolt things in with a safety.

Harbor freight works just fine. Bought mine from Craigs List, used, for 50 bucks. No issues.....
