That type of stand fits up into the hole in the underside of the bottom yoke.
It would be ideal if you were just switching fork legs but because you want to swap out the bottom and tope yoke assembly you will need to be more creative.

I put my bike in "traction" to do it. Mine was on the bench and on the rear paddock stand.
I used a tie around the back wheel bench and rear stand, all in one "wrap" to effectively pull the rear wheel down towards the bench tight.

Then I used a ratchet strap on the main frame to lift the front of the bike off the floor.
For added security I used two further ratchet straps also from the frame but set to pull left and right of the centre to provide lateral stability (in the end I realised I probably didn't need these)

If you do not have any handy beams above you can set up two step ladders left and right and put a beam of decent strong wood between them over the bike. Choose wood thick enough to hold your own weight, you are going to be lifting nearly 70kg.

Given the bike is only off the ground and in "traction" for the time it takes to swap out the headstock, I deemed it a safe enough risk at the time.
If in doubt you could then drop it back onto the stand you mentioned as soon as it is swapped.

In the end, as it was solid enough, I left my hanging in the air for about two weeks...!
