As usual, nice job, and a way to save a few bucks.

It's not worth a fiddlers damn if you don't have a table to put under it.

Just drop a couple of short pieces of 1x lumber and drive her up on those to get the clearance you need.

I measured distance from ground to bottom of frame on bike first, then went to a local auto salvage yard and bought a scissor jack from an import (Honda I think) that would fit with plenty of room, welded on a wider top plate that fit side to side with a little extra to spare, welded a socket on that fits my ratchet. Total cost around $15.00 I was able to do my own welding.
