good video which will help a lot of people out , with the 3 ramps what i do is only use the front 2 and use a car trolly jack just before the back wheel , (have a 08 gs) find its a lot easier and definitly a lot safer

Good Simple video Bob. Safety first! I tried and it works. Was not able to ride on the three ramps because it slided on the ground as you mentioned but good experience. I did the two front wheels to help add clearance for the oil change on my 2011 RTS5.

Yup, I have not decided how to secure that rear ramp to the driveway. lol Yes I did find out the hard way that that ramp will shoot forward and high wheel the rear. ended up with an atv lift. now I have 4 sets of ramps. need some more?

Thanks for the info, Keith!

Please let me know where you got your cruiser pegs. And whose they are. Thank you

Very informative video. Liked the ramp locator markers on the deck. What did you use to secure the ramps to the floor?? Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. Keep on Spydering.

I used very low tech "Deck Screws"

Impressed with your spyders exhaust sound. What's your setup?

[@keithjohanson4157]

I removed the airbox and resonator. Installed JT's air cleaner. Not sure if it is still available. Sorry for the late response, I don't check in very often.

Are ramps high enough to get under for Oil change..

[@keithjohanson4157]

My ramps are high enough for an oil change. I use the ramps almost all the time for routine maintenance and repairs.

Thats a good video, have you used the lift on a Ryker as well? And if so what point was the lift at. Thanks

[@Grumpyoldman60-]

i drilled lag bolts into the concrete and i bolt them in place. when not in use just screw the bolts in so dirt don't clog up the threads.

Great video! What kind of pads are those and where do you get them?

[@keithjohanson4157]

I made the green pads out of 2X6 boards with a 45 degree cut on the ends.

How do you recommend securing the ramps in place?

[@davehamilton4365]

Which motorcycle lift are you using in the video?

[@keithjohanson4157]

The lift is a Craftsman. All the lifts in that price range are from the same Chinese company. I doubt if you can get a Craftsman. The Harbor Freight lift is the same lift.
