I used these on mine.

I combined a few items one winter when I was still living in Ohio and couldn't ride. I had the swing arm off for unitrak linkage service; while I was at it, I mocked up these lugs and had a friend weld them on for me for the price of a 6-pack of beer, then I sealed up my bearings, sandblasted and bed-lined the whole swing arm black, and had my rear wheel powder coated.

I preferred this method to the center stand. It's a little inconvenient for doing a unitrak service, but a typical A-frame ladder with some decent ratchet straps can hold the rear end of the bike while you remove the swingarm and linkages just as well as the center stand ever did.
