Re: sidestand
I fitted an SV650 pointy side stand to my SV1000SZ K5.
They are exactly the same, except for the foot "tang" you refer to. The SV thou has the very long and ugly loop, to clear the exhaust. The 650 has either a shorter loop or a small knob IIRC.
I changed mine to the small knob type, purely for aesthetic reasons. It is harder to put the stand down, but looks so much better IMHO.
