i use stainless bars through the axles with paddock stands - cheap to buy and very easy to lift the bike very securely. 12mm diameter for the back and 8mm for the front:

with the rear stand in place the front can be lifted by jacking up under the sump and a simple axle stand leaves the bike quite secure:





although i do find that this leaves the steering feeling very light and vague and makes the bike prone to wheelies....
