I use a scissor jack from a Chevy Astro in the same manner, plenty of height & no hydraulics to go wrong. I've also used it with an "adapter" in a similar manner to Charlie's setup.

3 house bricks and an old bread board

Nice but…only one use?
I like a tool that can be used for many different things, because that saves storage space.
I like the bread board idea, might use a kayak paddle for that and lift the bike too, and for a ceiling fan, shovel snow, rifle stock, billiard cue, pizza maker.
Wow, I'm really thinkin'.

I've found with stock pipes & a centre stand if you use a big spreader board you can get away with lifting it on the pipes underneath..... most of the weight is on the stand anyhow.

Working on my old GPz at my buddy Wally's house. Redoing the fork seals, and the front wheel had to come off but we had no jack. So Wally yells at his 17 yo daughter: "Megan - Jody needs a b!tch on the back of his bike!"
Same principle as above but much cuter.Comment
