if you have ratchet straps and strong enough rafters, you can lift the bike by the triple-tree and the sub-frame. Just be sure the rafters ARE strong enough. I used the swing-set at my parents' house when I lived at home.

Other cheap alternatives would be to roll the rear wheel onto a block (or blocks) of wood and put jack-stands under the rearsets. (that only works if you don't have folding pegs... I forget not everyone has woodcraft or vortex rearsets). Then you just pull the wood out from under the rear tire. then you only need to buy/borrow a front stand.

if you're looking for cheap stands, T-Rex are good for the price.
