Hi, this is not the full answer, I know, but in case this helps, the best solution I've found to date for the rear wheel is to get some steel bar, or better still, turn-down to a shoulder, two larger bits of bar, so that they fit snugly into both sides of the hollow wheel spindle.  You can then use almost any paddock stand, or a pair of car axle stands to get the rear wheel up in the air.

However, apart from shaping a wooden support and then using a scissor jack under the engine, I've not found a completely satisfactory answer re the front wheel / forks.

Hopefully others can add what I'm missing?
