Default Cycle lifts

Who makes a good motorcycle lift or jack? Any suggestions? If you have one already would you buy it again or go with another brand?

I have a Direct Lift and it is the best $$$$ I ever spent. Makes cleaning and all maintenance much easier. Add a rolling stool and you are ready!!!

I tried the yellow Sears aluminum jack and just could not get my Road King to balance on it right. If I could have gotten the rear jack pad into the cross member then I think it would have been fine but the pad is too wide to fit into the channel.

I have ordered a one from J & S Jacks. More expensive but if it works as claimed then that is fine. J&S Site

I use the Harley lift shown in the attachment. I removed the handle and use an electric drill to power it up and down.

I bought mine from http://www.motorcyclejacks.com Heavy duty as hell. Does a great job on my Wide Glide (came with the wide glide adapters and tie down straps).

Cheers!
