That's the method I use except I just pull my front tire on it. I don't have a center stand on my NC but I use the plywood piece on my Kawasaki Concours 14.Here is a very simple and cheap trick.
This works best in your normal home parking spot.
Place a piece of 3/4" plywood about 12" x 12" on the floor in the position where your back tire usually rests
Ride or push the bike into your spot so the back tire is on the plywood.
Getting it up onto your center stand will now be way easier.
