Does anyone have a design for a stand to get bike up off the tires?

I used a furniture mover, about $10 at Harbour Freight Salavage, put a plastic milk crate upside down on it. Strap the crate to the furniture mover put the bike on top and strap all 3 together. Works Great

I tried this today, 3/4 inch threaded black pipe. I am concerned about resting on the exhaust pipes. I need to modify the stand a bit more to get off the exhaust.

The rolling milk crate is hard to beat. I use a piece of scrap plywood plus 4 casters stolen from junk office chairs. Attach the wood to the milk crate, then use a motorcycle tie down strap (4pc sets are pretty cheap at HF) to cinch the bike to the crate.

Stand? What stand? LOL!!! A couple of pieces of wood stacked up under the frame rails is what I use. I put the exhaust on after I have it on the wheels.
