• 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.

I built support blocks

When doing my first oil change, I lifted the Spyder with an aluminum craftsman motorcycle/ATV lift. The Spyder is quite a bit heavier than the motorcycles I've lifted with it, but it picked it up fine. I used concrete blocks under the three wheels, so the jack could be pulled out to access the drain plugs and to stabilize the trike. Today, I built a set of blocks out of two by fours and decking screws to use instead of concrete blocks. They are obviously much lighter and lift the trike a bit more than the concrete blocks. I used 12 inch and 10 inch long two by fours.

Nice job! Now that my Spyder has been put to rest, as of today, for the long winter, this could be a great time to duplicate what you have made here. Would surely be of great usage allowing more undercarriage room.
Thanks again for the pics.
 
I built something similar for mine but just the back. The front wheels I back up onto my ramps then jack the back up with my trolly jack and put the framework similar to yours under it.
