Motorcycle jack
 

ANyone have any info on the Torin "Big Red" motorcycle jack at Pep Boys? Can pick one up for $50 after rebate.

Yeah, I have one. And I posted about the good deal on it here, and was criticized for recommending a cheap chinese made jack to hold up my priceless Harley.
Well, I have had no problem with my PB jack at all. Go for it.

I have an expensive one (wife bought it) and I use my home made one more. Home made = two 4X4's nailed to gather with some pipe fittins and threaded pipe. (tip -round of the edges of the 4X4 that roll on the ground and against the frame.)

Could you give more DIY info, please?

Is it like this:

Dave,
I've heard of that method too. Did you just secure them with nails or bolts and then secure a handle? Does it seem to be stable enough?

That is pretty close to what I have. Mine is 20 years old and oil stained, but that is basicly it.

I'll try to take some digital pics tonight and post them if interested. It works great, really fast very steady. Only picks one tire up at a time (depending on were you place it) I used it the first time I tore my bike down to the frame. I think I have some pictures of that too.
