ArmyValker - here is pic of my valk raised as you were referring to

[frosty]

This pic shows my valk raised with the rear car tire and wheel removed using the Larian m/c jack and this ebay adapter  - very stable and secure even without using straps as some have said they do.   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170371061155&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:MOTORS:1123

That looks like just the ticket. I might have to save  up till next month though, I had to buy a MC tire this month !
