Default Motorcycle Storage Stands

I have a question concerning motorcycle service stands. What I understand about vehicles that if you are going to support it while the wheels are off the ground for storage that you should support it under the A arms and under the suspension, and not the frame allowing the suspension to droop.

Isn't this how a motorcycle would be stored on a motorcycle stand with the front forks and swingarm un-supported causing them to droop putting excess stress on the forks and shocks?

Does anyone have any suggestions of a good motorcycle jack/storage stand for the SERK? I have looked at H-D's and the Craftsman so far.

You can leave it on a lift with the fork and swingarm unsupported for as long as you like and won't hurt a thing.
