Plongson - may I ask how your setup with the lift is done? I also have a 2 post lift and am contemplating how this might be for stability and such.
Any information would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance

MChipperfield: It has a crawler that runs up a single post, it uses a screw that you operate with a 1/2" drill to run it up and down. It is very stable, I use the little hook bolts for added security but Im sure you don't really need them. I polished the rims and any-thing you can't reach when the bike is on the side stand. Lifts about 30" high so everything is real easy to get at.

I just picked up a j & s last weekend, put the bike up on it and was kinda dissapointed that the bike is not all that steady unless the jack is at full height with the locks in place. I stopped half way up, put the locks in a and let it down against the locks and it seemed kind of unstable to me, I might have done something wrong so I need to try it again, I didn't have much time to play with it so we'll see.
