axle stands and a car jack is what i use , it's easier with 2 people but it can be done by yourself if your careful
A pipe will fit through some models between the jack stands, and provide a very stable lift (see pic below).

Just curious though Patton your pic looks like it will lift the back end not the front, mind you that is part 2 of my planned work, where would you put the jack stands to lift the front wheel, under the down tubes? Well if weather permits (remember i have to do this all outside) ill try this out on monday, when i have a day off and no kids jumping around me (pretty sure i dont want to drop a kz on my 4 year old son, also sure he would be jumping up and down on the bike while trying to "help" me). If im feeling escpecially funky ill also post pics. After im done combining the 2 bikes i'll have a mostly complete kz650 for sale, if anyone is interested. (bascally it will be missing a wiring harness)
Kawickrice: i know what your saying i rebuilt a tercel engine on my kitchen table once, my roomate at the time was not amused.

...didnt think i could put a jack under the oil pan with it on its sidestand and not just have the thing topple over on me. Just curious though Patton your pic looks like it will lift the back end not the front...where would you put the jack stands to lift the front wheel, under the down tubes?
Don't use lifting jack under engine with bike on sidestand.
Pipe thru bike frame onto two stands supports rear end off the ground (as pictured). Then may use lifting jack under engine to also raise the front end, whereby both ends are off the ground.
I don't use jack stands under the front end.
