What kind of motorcycle stand should i use to change fork seals?

i have a cbr and i need to change my fork seals. a lot of people say to use a center stand, but theres two problems. 1. my exhaust goes directly under my motor (dont really want to take apart my pipe just to stand up bike) and 2. i dont want to buy a center stand. I borrowed a front and rear stand from friends, but i dont see how a front stand would help me since it goes under the forks. SO i am wondering if anyone has any good/cheap tricks to get front end of a bike off the ground???What kind of motorcycle stand should i use to change fork seals?A cinder block and a 2X4, shim to necessary height..What kind of motorcycle stand should i use to change fork seals?Put the bike on its side stand and lift it with a floor jack. The front end will lift and the bike will be resting on the rear tire, the side stand and the jack.

I'm assuming the jack will fit between the exhausts at the front of the engine.What kind of motorcycle stand should i use to change fork seals?The steering stem on bikes is hollow.

A front stand - fits into the steering stem and holds the front end off the ground.

I found a pair of camper jacks, the things which are used to support a cab-over camper when off the truck. They have pads on each jack, which fit under the camper, I took a 4 ft or so 2x6, bolted it to the pads of the 2 jacks. I can slide it over the bike, use tie downs, around the 2x6, down to each side of the bike, Can lift either end, as high as I need, use a center stand, or wheel stand on the wheel on ground, or tie the top frame rail to the 2x6 for stability. Not a pretty thing, but sure has paid for itself many time over.
