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.

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. -- Blake Sobiloff http://www.sobiloff.com/> San Jose, CA (USA) List sponsored by Dual Sport News at: www.dualsportnews.com List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok at: www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Member Map at: http://www.frappr.com/dsnklr650 Yahoo!
