Default Bike Lift

I finialy got the concrete poured under the pole barn. I want to buy a lift for my bike and start doing my own wrenching. So who makes a quality lift? Also anyone know of any sales, discounts or a coupon that could save me some $$$?

Thanks.

J&S is an excellent jack...in fact, it's the second best one out there...

Here we go again, as there have been countless posts & threads about this, but:

Just picked one up on craigslist for $40. Looks like the JS, but says blackjack on the side. The seller said he got it at the HD Dealer. Now all I need to do is find a dealer that has the frame protectors for a softail in stock to use it!!

The lifts mentioned look good. I like and have had no problems with the relatively inexpensive one I got from discount ramps, the black widow or whatever they call it. Used it on my Fat Bob and have used it on my new Street Glide. No issues to speak of.
Have fun with that new barn! Sounds like a cool project.
