I have the Sears motorcycle/ATV lift ... which happens to be on sale right now for $69.99. It holds up to 1500 pounds, so it's got plenty of ooomph for your bike. It is also very stable and easy to use.
I also have the Harbor Freight pneumatic "biker" roller seat (pic below) that I got at the Las Vegas store a few months ago on sale for $59 (regular was $99). It's a great little stool for scooting around the bike, and the seat if very comfortable.Here's a link online if you don't have a store near you ...
The 1500 lb jack is a 100.00 cdn and the pneumatic chair was 40.00 cnd .well worth it imho.
So thats what like $8 US, LOL JK man,
Haha ya for sure .Actually our dollar is almost par these days . What kicks the heck out of us here in canada is the 6% gst Government sales tax and 7% pst provincial sales tax .And we loose about a 1/3 of our pay cheques to the government right out of the gate .But another must have Jtem would be a softtail service manual .

I got a 1500 lbs bike jack of a buddy of mine. Foot operated to raise and lower the bike. All it cost me was a couple of cubans (Canada). Now for the roller seat.
I love my Sear Bike Jack as well. For service, get torx and hex head sockets. You will also want some medium strength loctite.
ahh yes I just updated my torx head and allen head socket set .just got some medium loctite .And got a couple sets of torque wreches inch lbs and ft/lbs .
