Question Motorcycle Jack

Can anybody recommend a good motorcyle jack that is good for touring bikes? Looking at getting one, but i don't know a good one from a bad one.

I have a stinger jack that I like. Sears makes a good one too. Make sure you get one rated for your bike weight. 1500lbs or more.

Just bought a J&S today, replacing a Craftsman. Worth the extra $$. Sturdy, better quality, and above all Made in America.

I bought the Craftsman Professional series from Sears. It's a great jack for me. I use it on my Dyna but I would imagine it would work well for any cycle. It cost a little more then most but it really is made well and will last awhile.
Hope this helps

I have a J&S and a yellow sears craftsman and the J&S is much better and worth the money.
