    Spinning the bike on the prop stand is not that difficult.

    Just don’t do it on some Ducatis as the prop stand bolts directly to the main engine/gearbox case. :scream:

    If you have a centre stand, what about one of these....

    ...approx 40x40cm, made from 4mm steel plate and the deck is just under 25mm off the floor.
    I don't trust those screw type scissor lifts. I had one for the Street Scrambler and the whole thing collapsed when the threaded bar stripped while I was lifting it. A right pile of shite. I ended up modding it with a small 1.5T bottle jack I had lying around.

    This is basically what I was going to knock up in ply. I just need it to stop raining do I can build the level platform its going to roll on.

    I do that regularly with my 115kg dirt bike but with a 200+kg road bike? It's not that difficult once you've got the knack but the stand isn't made to take that sort of abuse.
