Motorcycle Lift

I'm in the market for a motorcycle lift and thought I ask those how use them what they would recommend, particularly for the Sporty XL frame. Not looking to break the bank, but would like to have something at would last.

Thanks in advance, Chris

If you are considering a J&S, I'd urge you to look at the Harbor Freight table lift instead, for less money.

Here's my bike a few days ago when I started tearing things down to get to the tappets:

That table lift makes things so much easier.

If you just put your bike on it, it already makes everything higher by a foot or so. Then you can jack it up halfway or fully up depending on your needs.
