Lifting PCX to remove or work on front wheel

I wonder what people use to lift the PCX a little to get the front wheel off. I was thinking of buying some kind of jack but thought a car jack and the tiny support area it offers would not be ideal.

I use a plastic beer cage, upside down.
Perfect height, large contact area, and strong enough to support the small weight, cause most of the weight is on the central stand.

But it is quite big, so the best would be a strap attached from the center of handlebar to a pipe or anything on the garage's roof :roll:

Just a jack plus wood. Maybe a second jack plus wood for safety.

I got the idea from this guy:

Lifting starts at 36 seconds
