I have the Sears Craftsman aluminum jack...very nice, very smooth. Depending on what maintenance task I'm doing (need the front end up...need the back end up) determines where I locate the jack under the beast for balancing purposes.

anubisss is right...keep your jiffy stand down at all times! When you are lowering your bike back to the ground and the motorcycle finally lands on both tires it is very easy to have it off-center and the possibility ofthe bikefalling over. That's why it's important to have a good jack with a smooth action. My buddy has an old no-name jack that leaks fluid all over the place and makes my heart skip a beat everytime he's lowering hisscooter...the jack just seems to drop an inch or so at a time! Too damn nerve racking for me! Anyway...don't be a statistic when doing something as simple as jacking your bike up or down!

Good luck!
