I suppose I could just do the tie-downs to the rafters-lift as well.
That's what I use. Works like a charm. Besides, I'm too damn cheap to
buy a proper stand.
Another option: Put the bike on its centerstand and load something
heavy on the seat and top/grab rail. A bundle or two of shingles or an
80 lb. bag of cement should do the trick. I haven't tried this but
these are things that I have in my garage and would try if I didn't
have the rafters.
Plan C: Put the bike on its centerstand and remove the belly fairings.
Then block up the engine
