I myself consider this Rube Goldberg but it works. Years ago I took an 8' 2"x8" and cut 2' off of it. On the 6' piece I drilled and countersunk an eyebolt at each end. Then roll the front wheel in the middle of the 6' piece and put it back on the rear stand. Zip tie the front brake lever back and take motorcycle straps and strap the bike level to the eyebolts. Put the remaining 2' piece under the rear tire and let it off the rear stand. The bike is level and stable and you have all hands free to top off oil as needed. Don't laugh, it's cheaper then a front stand.
