If your uncles is yellow it's the alum version, which is more money.

As said, they are cheap.

If you want better ideas... check out J&S or pitbull.

The largest problem you have, is that most of all of these are designed for flat bottom rail frames found on v-twin cruisers (hd & metric).

And these are motorcycle jacks not so much lifts... trust me there is a comma in the price difference.

I don't want better. We are not motorcycle jack/lift connoisseurs, just want something to move it a few feet in the garage once in a while.

And the frame on the Honda is flat on the bottom, so these will be fine. Moira actually found a Craftsman on CL for $50. I just need to find somewhere to hide it for the next 3 months.

Good luck. I simply hang my V-strom from the rafters in the garage.

I use the Craftsman jack. It works perfectly on a DS bike with a skid plate.
