This has been covered many times...Sears sells a great one...on sale for about $60 I believe...

RE: Who makes a decent motorcycle jack ?
I tried the Craftsman jack recently for my FLTRI but returned it 'cause it's so cumbersome to use.
It's very rare that you need both wheels off the ground at the same time.
You can lift either the front or back end of the bike off the ground in about 10-15 seconds.
Been using this lift for eight years and just bought my second one for my FLTRI which has been redesigned for bikes with hard bags.
This jack is extremely stable even when the entire front end or rear end of the bike is disassembled.
Price is $120, website...http://www.cyclelifts.com

RE: Who makes a decent motorcycle jack ?
I disagree on the Craftsman jack - I like mine, and I like lifting both wheels frequently. Its sweet for cleaning the bike in general, and the wheel especially.
A bit of a pain to slide it under the bike, due to tight fit, but its not a big deal.

I have one I got at Sam's Club. It is blue (but I can't remember who it is made by). It has a handle that makes is pretty easy to manuever. I used it on a 96 FLHTC and now on an 06 FLHTCUI.

I love my Dunwell. I costs more than a Sears jack, but the quality is worth it. You can sit on the back on your bike with it on the jack and it is still stable. There is a video at their web site. www.dunwelllifts.com
Try it, you'll like it.
