    Preferably used and inexpensive. The large roll on type as seen at the local
    stealership. Air or hyd doesn't matter.

    Harbor Tools has one. I believe it's hydraulic.

    http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=91764

    $349

    If you want any more "inexpensive" than that, I would suggest a brick at a
    dealership during a late nite raid.

    Tim,

    Knowing that that particular piece of equipment comes from Harbor Freight,
    If you DO get it, I'd highly suggest making sure all the bolts are grade 8
    or better. If they're not - go to a True Value or your closest hardware
    store and get high-strength bolts. No need having a cheapo bolt sheer and
    hurt someone or your property.

    I'd watch that harbor freight one also.. A friend had one that
    connected the tie downs to the bottom of the lift.
    Overnight the jack lost pressure, the tie downs picked up slack and
    over the bike went...
    I have't used it, so I can't say that it is bad - just be careful...

    Interesting. Been using a HF lift for years. Put the 1998 Gold Wing SE
    up on it and left it for a week. No problems.

    Your buddy knows about and uses the safety lock. Right?

    Hey, lolly texgays, you're making an ass of yourself...again.

    As long as you don't mind showing your ass, I won't mind pointing it out and
    laughing with everyone else about it.

    PepBoys has one on sale $45 after $10 mail-in rebate. Sale until 02/13. Be
    sure and inspect out of box before ya buy. Then build/weld support for the
    time it collapes (because if you don't, it will).
