Their price keeps creeping up, but you can still get them for $300 with the coupons found in many of the MC rags. I'm still wanting one, but may have to wait for a few months until I recover from the Whitehorse $$$ trip.

I use a craftsman motorcycle jack for my bikes. I scooped it from craigslist for 70 bucks ::013:: ::018::

I have an eazy rizer red (http://lifts-and-stands.com) with the frame mounts for the Super. I've had it for ten years and used it on everything up to big cruisers (before they had the blue version, they recommended this one for everything up to gold wings). It doesn't take up much storage space, it has a minimal profile so isn't in the way when the bike is on it, just requires a little grease from time to time, lifts much higher than a jack style lift, and is super stable, even with one wheel off the bike. Not cheap but worth it if you plan to use it a lot.

Nice lift!!! I had never thought of going this way instead of the normal platform lifts you usually see. I wonder if they have a mount kit for my Burgy as well?

I have the Harbor Freight lift table and the portable lift. For the money, they both work nicely.
Cheap $$$ too!!!!

I also have the Harbor Freight lift table. Works really well. The front tire vise is sucky, so I replaced it. Got it on sale last year for $249. I was going to buy a Handly Lift, but it ended up being close to $1500 delivered.

Since I have gone alot of years without one, and not knowing if I would actually like a table lift, I went ahead and bought the cheap unit. Figured the metal decking was worth the cost of the whole lift and I could use the material for other projects if the lift turned out to be total crap.

So far, I like it. I don't use it for everything, but it sure beats sitting or laying on the floor. Oil changes are nice. It's pretty sturdy.

Quality wise, it's not bad.

I use a Direct Lift from Derek Weaver like this one. Only I have a removable piece to help remove the rear tire. I don't think they make that anymore..

I use a simple small floor jack to lift the front and then a U stand to support it.
I can take both wheels off at the same time. Very handy for when they both
need to go to Woody's for an attitude adjustment.
