I bought one of those paddock stands to go under the headstock, cannot say I have used it in the 5 years it has been hanging off the shelf. I tend to hang the bikes off a chain hoist if the wheels need to come off, less chance of it falling off, less starin lifting it, more control putting the wheel spindle back in as the wheel can be on the floor, the bike can be set to hang just right and a hide mallet can then be used to rapidly install the wheel spindle without breaking a sweat. Somthing I perfected on my rebel 125, a heavy old brute, with no centre stand and thanks to mix and match parts at some point, a need for 2 washers to go between the wheel hub and brake plate, an operation requiring thd patience of Job and thd dexterity of a safari park monkey stripping a car for parts. I actually use heavy baler twine ( available from most farmers) to form a sling of sorts, one bit around the headstock, and a loop round the twinshock mounts. The stuff is easily strong enough for most motorbikes to hang off, and so cheap you can double it up to be sure, and once the job is finished you can just cut the bike free rather than fiddle with knots. Also although I have a proper rear paddock stand it gets in the way of the exhaust and I have had to rescue the bike from falling off it a few times.
