Saw some one on here use a ladder( over the bike ) and a heavy duty ratchet strap through the frame under the tank.

Seemed to work alright.

mine stood on house bricks and a piece of wood but a rope round the head stock up to a garage beam might help to keep it stable.

are they ridable?

come up here and sling it from my engine lift. Or I can shove it in the back of the car a lend it to you

Jack under the sump with a rag on it, lean it over.

3 points of contact; sidestand, jack, back wheel.

Stable enough, but crack all the bolts loose before you jack it up.

I used a jack. On other bikes I've used a ladder and rope.
