You can buy rear "spool" stands that have pads rather than hooks. They simply go under the swingarm and lift it up, without any sort of engagement. That's what I used on my 500 (with centerstand, without spool bosses) before I did a swingarm swap. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...sku_id=1127303 is one example. My cheap set (they look a lot like the Venom ones) came with swappable pads and spool hooks, I'm pretty sure.

A centerstand is very handy and will work in most cases, but there are some tasks where a rear stand works better.
