I had the benefit of the engine mounts being bars so the jacks fit snuggly either side to stop sideways movement. You get the idea anyways.

Trolley jack with the wood near the back of the headers, and a beer crate under the front of the headers. Cool

Take the exhaust and any lower bodywork off and just pop the bike on the floor, it shouldn't go anywhere unless your like me and have a habit of walking into things.

That looks like what happens in Manchester when you come out of a news agents for a snack after leaving your bike outside for 2 ticks.
