Default Jacks???

Anyone know of any brand of motorcycle jack thats made for lowered bikes.
My bike has a little over a 3 inch clearance. I can't find a jack that fits under

My Train was lowered and I would just roll the rear wheel of the bike up onto a 1.5" thick concrete block. Jack fit right in there.

i've got a screw jack that will slide right under the lowest of scoots, i'll check the brand on it in the morning & post

edit: it's a CMP Bike Lift, it's about half the weight of a hydraulic jack, has a much larger footprint, therefore making it rock solid

I don't have one, but I was told that J&S Jacks should still fit under lowered bikes...

If you get it please post a review, the few reviews I've found were favorable and it is the lowest jack I've found.

That's a nice jack but I don't think I want to leave the Jiffy stand up. The darn jack weighs 92 lbs also.
