I have always liked the Handy brand lifts. I dont know where they are made, but for about $1500, you can get the lift your looking for in a color of your choice, along with some accessories....like the wheel vice, and scissor jack.....delivered. Less if you go pick it up I guess.

I spent quite a bit less than that on the last one I bought back in about 1985, but times (and prices) have changed a lot since then.

The thing is though....once you start using a lift to work on your bike, its becomes VERY hard to go back to working from a jack or on the floor should you have to. When I moved some time ago I had to sell my lift, and I been kicking myself in the a$$ ever since!
