Once you get a decent jack, you may want a stand to go with it.
I do not have this stand, just saw it on FB.

I have one - don't recall if it was Sears or harbor Freight - both appear identical.
Have had mine for about 10 years - still works great. I do need to replace the tie down straps - they are worn. Don't really use the tie down unless I am lifting pretty high. To clean the wheels and pipes, I usually like the wheels off the ground enough for them to roll - so, no need to tie down.

The first time you jack your bike up you are a little concerned/apprehensive, hoping the jack is in the right place for balance etc. And then God forbid it would shake a little.
I'd buy a used quality jack before a cheap one. Why risk the bike on cheap metal, inferior weld, bottle seal etc. Some things you can see, others you can't.
I know many have had success with HF and they are cheap/inexpensive.
I normally over kill what i do/buy but i have complete confidence in my J and S and never even consider using tie downs.
I have my bike on the jack every week when ridding regularly and i don't want to sweat it. Check the tires, drive belt, air, clean the wheels, check the undercarriage, change oil, etc.
Bike is too expensive to start being Penny wise and Pound foolish.
Just MHO

I got this from Discount Ramps a few years ago. Comes with a 13" extension for choppers, rear wheel drop away, front tire vise, and a platform jack that goes under the transmission to raise the rear tire up. All for $1000.

I use this one. I just got one two weeks ago for $79.99 on sale.

I picked up one of those several years ago for around $80.00. It does a good job for the money. Be sure to use the jack screws, they increase the stability quite a bit.

Subscribed so I can find the link to discount ramps later as well as agree with several who have recommended the J&S. Yeah they are a few extra dollars but isn't your bike worth the peice of mind knowing it's far superior than the cheap ones.
