This is the first bike I have had in years that I do not plan on selling after riding season so I need to find a lift/ center stand to do maintenace. What do you use what would you recomend?

I've had the red Sears jack for about 5 years now.

It needs to be replaced, it still works but it's been abused. I think they have one that is a little better and I think it's yellow and a little more $$$

Main thing is to make sure the jack is low enough to fit under the frame. I usually work on my bike on the Jack but if I'm going to be doing something like removing a wheel are something that might require me to get a little rough with it I let the bike down on the bike stand for more stability.
The bike stand is made by a fellow member Dan (Pepsx)

and it sells for around $110.

Yep, the sears aluminum jack rocks. It is the most expensive that Sears has, but it is the only one that slides easily under the X. FYI, I have a 2005 VTX 1300R

I have a Larin Jack that I picked up at Tractor Supply! I looked at others and my bike sets really low and needed one that would go low. Real good jack and does the job real well!
