The lift that Maritime wrote about works well, I have one as well as the other type of lift. You should strap your bike to the lift like he did because when tightening or loosening bolts you can tip your bike off (don't ask me how I know, I did manage to catch it though). Also the exhaust may interfere with the jack, when that happens I use short pieces of 2x4 to block it up so that the exhaust does not get squished. A nice thing about these is that you can spin or remove the bike's wheels on thesm. Crappy Tire puts these on sale all the time and there are always guys on Craigslist selling them for peanuts. The take up little room and you could even hang one on your wall to get it out of the way. I think if you have the room and the dough you should get both types of lfts.
