Default What motorcycle jack do you use?

I was thinking of getting that Kragens autosupply one or the Sears ($68.99 or something).
I know the bike is like 800 lbs. So I should get a jack to hold that much weight correct?

I know I'm putting $20,000 on this JACK, so I need your Opinions !!!

Thank You for your Time and Consideration !

Check this out. I made one in about half an hour. You don't really need the eye hooks. I went with the longer board. The only thing I did differently was I put a carpet remnant on the contact edge to protect the frame. Good luck. (I have a Sears motorcyle jack but prefer this lift for ease of use.)

I too have the Yellow Sears one. I got the red one but it is taller than the yellow one so I took it back. The yellow one will slide under your SG without putting a board under your side stand.

I've got the red Sears jack for my EG Standard. Works just fine!

Great looking garage jfanton! I'd love to have one with a high ceiling like that!
