Yeh i just tilt the bike up so that the back tire is a few inches off the ground, pull the jack stand under the swing arm, then in one motion push the bike up so that the weight is on the jack and slide a piece of 2x4 under the kick stand and the rear wheel is 2" off the ground. I use the engine hoist if I need to get the bike any higher, and just lift the bike from the subframe and the upper tripletree with some straps, then tie either end of the bike to teh hoist and let it down so that a little wight is on a jack stand, and the bike is solidly planted to work on.
I also have a bicycle inner tube over the top of the jackstand, then wrapped in duct tape a bazzillion times to prevent it from digging into the frame.
And the heater blows almost straight down. When I first got it I had it on the floor thinking that heat rises, and all it did was to char the floor around it so I have it suspended from the ceiling. It heats the shed in a few minutes so that I am comfortable wearing a T-shirt in the middle of winter.
