Fixed/longer/better sidestand?

My sidestand is a bit wobbly and now I've fitted a slightly longer shock, the bike leans over too much on the sidestand, so I need a new stand, or a way to modify the existing one...

Has anyone fixed a wobbly stand? What's involved?

I've also seen that some people fit SRAD GSXR600 stands. Are these longer/shorter/same length? Would I need just the stand, or the bracket for the frame too?

Yorkie Chris has just fitted a GSXR stand of some sort, he might be along soon

I used GSXR1000 K5, but had to chop it in half and weld it back together for it to work.

Just weld a small plate onto the bottom of the existing stand.

With the amount it needs, it would end up looking like a 1970's platform boot....!

I think there's a thread on this on the SVrider boards
