There are plans for a platform that you use with a ramp on the forum.

I've seen and used one, and for the investment is a really good alternative to a hydraulic lift.

I just bought a Handy Lift.  It's the base-line professional series with the tire clamp on the front.  Used the same kind (older model) at the Reseda shop but I needed a new one for my home-based-shop so I went with the same that I knew & loved.  Still love it.  Solid as hell, and an air-cylinder that's likely off of a PeterBilt somewhere...  IT'S HUGE!

Ran me a little over $1000 w/the clamp...

Local distributor.  Carlson company I think it was.  I happened to be driving by so they waved the shipping and loading costs.

+1 on the Handy.

I've had mine since...feck...'91.
Not in daily use for that whole time, but they're virtually bomb-proof.

And a link to a coupon that gives a discount.

Foot pump.......seems like hard work.

I've been using one of those for about 2 years now.  I bought it based on some reviews on TOB.

It's the standard lift but I bought the wheel clamp.  Lift was around $850 and the clamp was a little over $100 + tax.

Half way down in this link (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=6180.0) I show the diagram and the built piece.  works very well and breaks down nicely.

Another vote for the Handy ... I've got a buddy that has a Handy that it works great. 

If you're being cheap you can get the Harbor Freight for about $250, but if you can swing the Handy that would be my first choice.

Cheers,
Adam
