Check out
http://www.discountramps.com/discount-motorcycle-jacks.htm.
I just bought one, $90 plus shipping.
Thing weighs about 70 POUNDS, it's built like a HD truck. Even has
WHEELS and comes with good strong tie-down straps. They claim it will
lift 1500 pounds. I believe it.
Fits my KLR when aluminum skid plate is on, might need an adapter plate
if the skid plate is off.
Only one minor issue - the anchor points for the tie-downs are too
close to the big leveling screws. Had to put small u-bolts on the tie
points to hold the tie-down straps a little closer to the centerline.
No big deal.

...assuming we have the spare electrical capacity to be splitting
hydrogen from oxygen. Unfortunately we won't have that until we have
*many* more nuclear plants, whose off-peak generation can be used for
exactly that purpose. If I were king we'd have 30 new pebble-based
nuke plants in five years, and be using nuclear-derived electricity
for 80+% of our use in twenty years.
