Being a car guy before a bike guy definitely has its perks at times. A lot of my "car" tools work great on my bike.

You do not need special adapters if you mod the jack to fit the bike.

I use one of these little no name floor jacks with a strategicaly place piece of wood under the bike, and my harbor freight wheel chock. I use straps to tie the front end to the wheel chock as a safety precaution.

I recently had my rear wheel off for about 2 weeks and it held with no problem, even with my kids in and out of the garage with their bicycles and all.

Don't forget to strap that baby down on the lift, these puppies like to jump off lifts.

I use a cheap motorcycle lift from harbor freight with some ratchet straps. Sometimes I wish I had the jack adaptors to make it level! I'll get around to making some one day.
