I have the HF lift and the HF Motorcycle Stand:

http://t.harborfreight.com/interests/motorcycle/motorcycle-stand-wheel-chock-97843.html?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

The stand is a two-part stabilizer. The front keeps the wheel from turning while you slide the rear part under the rear of the wheel. Then you slide the support bar through the rear part and secure it with cotter pins. Couple of tiedowns on the triple tree and that thing ain't going nowhere, no matter how high you lift the rear end of the bike. You could probably also lift the front of the bike with tiedowns stabilizing the rear -- the lifted front wheel would stay in the tall front channel, but I haven't had cause to try that yet.

I drilled some holes in the platform for eyelets to accept tiedowns -- there is no accommodation for that in the stock product.

Oops.  Nevermind.  I misread the post above about supporting the swingarm  I read that as center stand.  Ah, the wonders of a wavering mind.  Makes more sense now.  I suppose the shock will slide off and on with minimal effort on my part?
