Black Widow makes a pin type lift designed for front end use via the lower triple. Its about $80-90 and is equipped with 5 or 6? multiple sized pins for various bikes. I consider it an invaluable tool, a keeper.

Alone, I can safely lift the subject bike via front end, no help.
And once up, it is stable, safe and secure for short or longer term work. You can supplement it using a rear stand as well....both wheels up simultaneous for service....dual wheel pulls for tires, for example.

IMHO the financial investment worth it for a tool with an indefinite life, no matter what your stable holds, now and future.
