I've had great luck with this jig, and had the entire front-end off the bike to change the head bearings. I trust it as long as the bike's center-stand is locked, and the bike is positioned on a level and solid floor surface, and the bike isn't moved around too much while wrenching on it. Best to break-loose the nuts and bolts before jacking it, then final tighten them after the tire is back on the floor.

you can buy a rusted up center stand for cheap, & only install it when you want to raise the bike, & take it off when you're done, only two nuts & bolts, takes about 2 minutes to put on or take off
