Bike Lift?

Any suggestions for a good low cost SuMo/dirt bike lift?

You can get a Larin lifts for about $100, do you have a Farm & Fleet store close to you? They list four stores in IA.

They're strong enough to support an HD touring boat, so a dirtbike or SuMo is nothing on one of these.

Blain's Farm and Fleet : Larin® ATV / Motorcycle Jack with Roller Seat Combo

Blain's Farm and Fleet : Larin® Motorcycle / ATV Utility Jack

The lift is on sale through the 12th for $79.99

Jack or a stand?

Cycle Gear has a couple for under a $100.

That's a little bigger than what I had in mind but for that price I might have to go for it.

More of the jack style. I'm little remember. I can't lift these things on my own up on to a stand.

Something like this maybe? $34.99, isn't bad.

Those things are pretty unstable. I had a similar one (not pictured) and gave it away because it was so wobbly. I then bought a box stand which was very stable, but it was hell on my back getting the bikes on it, especially after a long day of riding.

I ended up buying a craftsman motorcycle jack and never looked back. An added bonus is that I can use it with my street bike as well.

Point taken. No point in buying twice I guess.
