What exactly do you mean by "3) isolate the front forks, I used old seat belts"? Are you compressing the forks? I can't tell from the picture how the belts are attached to the forks.
Thanks.

If you look closely at the first pic, he strapped both sides of the forks from the bottom of the tree to the handlebars,
I suspect while the bike was on the ground.
Then when he raises the bike with the scissor jack, the forks don't unload and extend as the bike goes up.
Maybe someone can confirm that's what's going on?

Amendment:
Looking even closer, those straps go down and around the axles.
Otherwise the forks would expand when the bike is lifted.

Yep not sure why though, just jack it higher and remember it is just the weight/mass load being reduced if the forks extend as it is only because the load is off them and also the cross bolt simultaneously.
If anything leaving them unstrapped would increase stability when jacked.

The instructions from triumph are really vague and don’t mention the need to support engine? ( for the Triumph OEM bars)

stand up straight and grab the world by the a$$
if i remember correct
i took that bolt about half way out and then put in a shaft or bar of some kind then took out the bolt and mounted the crash bar reinstalled the bolt (with jack) all the way through till i knocked out the tool that i used for the other side.
