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 was the one who posted the original question. I am at work, but will post photos later this evening if someone doesn't do so sooner. On advice of forum members, I went to Harbor Freight and bought a 1700lbs motorcycle lift. It was actually on sale from $129 to $89 and I had a 20% off coupon and ended up getting it for about $75!
If you look under the spyder there is a metal frame that runs the length of the bike where the frunk meets the engine to the exhaust area. On my F3, I put the jack under the floorboard area and it balances great. It is a little tight with floor boards, but if you have just rider pegs you will be ok. I would still use jack stands and something under the back tire to prevent it falling off, but I rocked it a little and it seems pretty secure.

Hi Tom,
Once lifted ( I also have the HF jack ) PLEASE use jack stands and a large sturdy block ( for the back tire). None of us would work on our autos with just a tire jack:yikes:. I was just under my :spyder2: Yesterday-- So much sturdier on a block and jack stands than floating about on the M/C jack.
I used to tell my students in Auto shop------ a car only falls on you ONCE.nojoke
1,000 pounds on your chest will cause:::::::::::::::: Kaos
