That might be a tough one.

Those are great for frames with double down-tubes where the engine sump doesn't drop below the frame - like most Big Twins.

With the Ninja's frame type (lack of lower frame) and pipe/sump design you may have a tough time getting a flat surface to lift from.

You may be able to make some type of plate out of wood that could get you a flat surface to lift from, but be careful. With that in-place it would be hard to change the oil.

A rear stand would be handier I would think. A front wheel chock is also super handy to keep the cycle stable when using other stands.
