decided to get a lift for my 2000RSV. thought i would try the new tractor supply and buy the big red 1500lb lift for 119.00. lift seemed ok but noticed the welds on the locking mech were bad and was bent too. I had them order a new one and it came back just as bad. needless to say i returned it and went to sears to look at the craftsman 1500 for the same price. I had them open the box so i could compare before i took it home. The craftsman lift seemed far superior in most ways--foot pedal release, spring loaded locking mech, attacheable T-handle to move were a couple. **best news it was on sale for 99.00. guess now it is time to get a lift adapter or takle making one myslef.

Sorry i goofed , i met to say 2 gen Mech. you know it is hard to tell the dif. just got done lowering Mike's aka Skyking 2 gen and it was lot's of fun ! it was lots of fun getting to the front forks than trying to get the the tree down the 1 in. but we got it done ! took a large malet and some pry bars but it is done ! installing the longer dog bones and rear brake relocator was a lot easyer , a little trick do not raise the rear tire off the ground , makes it a lot easyer , only took me a hour to figger that out . the last thing we did was change the kick stand , what a pain in the . why not make the bolt a 1/2 in shorter ? anyway its all done and looks darn good ! Mike said it rides good too he proved it by riding with no hand for a short way and of course i proved to him that 1st gens are faster and a lot easier to work on ! i want to thank JerryW for all the info and help , with out him i could not have done it ! THOM -------- the idiot who thought he was a mech.
