Mobile Jack Stand for Motorcyle

Proud owner of a KZ750, wondering if anyone had any advice on what jack or stands i can get to be able to move around my bike when working on it that allows me to easily move it without it being tippy so I can utilize my small garage when not tinkering? Anyone know of a good product for that? (FYI small children so I don't want them being able to tip it over)

Thank You in Advance

Saw a "Spider" jack at racetrack last Sunday .Think thats the sort of thing you are looking for but only for "race bikes" ?? - worth looking into.

It's not really a jack, but Harbor freight sells a fairly inexpensive dolly for moving the bike around in your garage. You could use some tie-down straps to make it kid proof.

Some of the guys around here say the HF 1500lb lifts are good for 250cc-650 sized dirt bikes and that's it.
The cheap, thin sheet metal Z braces are said to fold over and dump your machine on the concrete
Anyone know if that is even remotely true?

I have a 1000lb HF lift table and the motorcycle dolly. Currently I have my Kz1000 on the dolly and I've had my Vmax on the lift table. Zero issues on both so far.
