Side stand too long?
My 15 came to me with the TT big foot thingy bolted on the side stand foot. I've noticed that the bike is nearly upright when on the side stand so I have to watch where I park it for fear it'll topple over. Any solutions for this other than cutting, shortening and welding the stand?

Re: Side stand too long?
I made this simple mod to the kickstand on my 15 1190R by getting it up on the center stand, swinging the side stand up and then grinding away somewhere between 1/16th to and 1/8 of an inch of the sidestand stop. This lets the sidestand swing further ahead which allows the bike to lean over a little more. I did this after I embarrassed myself at a gas station a couple of times. 
Nuff said.
