Personally, I bought a hydraulic one from JC Whitney.

Have to roll the Savage up on a low brick to slide the lift under the bike, but I really like the ability to get it off the ground far enough for my poor old bones.

There a couple home-made bike stands in the Technical section.

One of them is in use in my garage right now ;D

I made the home made wooden stand in the tech section - it was easy to make & does the job fine.

Is that the one that uses the straps?

I can't recall if the instructions said to put in eye bolts @ each end & use straps but I did & am pretty sure I added that a suggestion to instructions if it was not there already.

If that detail wasn't there, then I'm glad you added it.

They're visible in the photos though...
