• 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.

What do you prefer to use for lifting your Spyder/Ryker?

Just wondering what method people prefer when jacking/lifting their Spyders/Rykers: Ramps, floor jacks, or the Spyder/ATV/Motorcycle lifts?

Combo of ramps up front and jack at end of center rail for oil changes. If doing rear tire, just the jack in the back. If taking front wheel off, the jack moves to the wishbone.
 
.

Harbor Frieght lift, jack stands in front and a large cube of wood(with a handle) for the back.
 
Depends on what I'm doing but mostly I raise my RT for an oil change. Car ramps for the front and a small conventional floor jack with a block of wood under the rear shock for the rear. If I'm working on the front for whatever reason, I use the HF motorcycle lift.
 
I use jacks or ramps. I tried lifting it by hand once but it was just too heavy.

I use a HF ATV lift left over from my Venture days and ramps for as jack stands. If I am doing tires I just use the HF jack
 
Usually use two roll around floor jacks with a very low profile lowered, Then once it is lifted slip jackstands under it or ramps or blocks under the tires depending on what type of work will be done. Sometimes a scissor jack,

I use either my Big Blue Motorcycle lift, Harbor Freight ATV/Motorcycle jack or ramps just depending on the task.
 
I have a Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Lift, 50191 that is a lot like the Harbor Freight lift, but I purchased it because the hydraulic system was much superior to my son's HF lift, as it was not at all smooth lowering his bikes that were not anywhere near as heavy as a Spyder.
 
where do you buy the pitbull
The original pitbull owner retired. The business was bought and continues with new owners. You will need to call them (google the number). I am not sure what product lines were continued after the new owners tool over.
