My old method (before cutting off the center stand mounts) was to roll the bike up on a long board and just let the front roll off the end.  Pop the bike up on the center stand.  Then use tie down straps to pull the back end down the the board to raise the front tire off the ground.  You can tie down through the rear rim to the board, or tie down the grab handles to the board to do the same.  Same should work with those flash lifts too!

Chris, that's a great bit of lateral thinking and simplicity at it's best, using the bike's own weight to elevate the front.

Here is my "board"....



...and if you want to raise it up and down, tie it to the table itself.....
