A center stand works fine if you're still flexible and don't mind lying on a cold garage floor. I bought a Harbor Freight lift about 5 years ago along with a Harbor Freight wheel dock that I bolted to the lift. I just roll the bike onto the lift and into the wheel dock. Bike is now upright with the center stand up, out of the way. I can now do all types of maintenance and add-ons whilst seated or standing. I paid less than $400 for this setup and it has been reliable thus far. Heaviest bike I've had on it is a friend's V4 Yamaha cruiser that weighs in excess of 800lbs.
