I use my J&S jack and it works perfectly. Absolutely no issues.

cheap would be Harbor Frieght...depending on what your looking for there are several ways to go. Always get jack stands to support your vehicle. I use the atv/motorcycle lift but bought it from Sears...have fun shopping....:thumbup:

The ones listed in here from Sears, all seem to have a 1,500 lb caoacity. :clap: :2thumbs:
(Call me a baby, but I just don't like putting anything up in the air, that exceeds the limits of the jack that's doing the lifting... :opps:)
Remember, you get what you pay for. spent $30,000 on a spyder but spend 100. on a jack. :(
:agree: If it costs an extra fifty bucks or more; that's STILL chump change compared to the amount you laid down for the bike! :thumbup:
Your suggestions were helpful.. I am going with the Sears lift--holding weight 1500 lbs. My bike unloaded weights 1012. Will be much easier than using 2x4's. This is how I lifted my 2011 with my brothers muscles.:clap:
Went out online last night bought one for the same price that it was back in June 2014. Got free shipping to my house. Will be here by March 10th. With tax it is under $84.00.:yes:Quote:

Or perhaps that was more than you had in mind.....:sour:
I have the one from my Harley days also. Wanted a second one so I can put one under each front tire and lift the bike up. Seems like a pretty safe way to get the front end of the bike up to change out the swaybar. The cost is less than taking the swaybar to the dealer for installation.Quote:

I then slide the ATV Jack under it and get it as high as it will go. Then put jack stands under the front shocks on the A frame. Then you can get a regular car jack under the rear tire and jack it up till the weight is on the jack stands on the front. Then with all 3 wheels supported, you can then remove the ATV jack in the middle. You then have it all up and the center free to work.Quote:
