Side stand too short

Mind leans a lot too, but I've jacked the rear up by putting shorter dog bones on. When on the centre stand the rear wheel is only just off the ground.
I don't think anyone would fit a non standard sidestand the most likely cause is as Ghoti suggests the rear of the bike has been raised either through the fitting of non standard dogbones or through a non standard shock that allows height adjustment or in my case both. As well as raising my rear I've also dropped the front forks through the yokes by about 10mm, which has helped make the steering more responsive and I guess has lowered that portion of the bike sufficiently so I have no problems with the side stand. Raising the rear of the bike by using shorter dogbones is a popular mod as the revised geometry makes the soft rear shock that bit firmer and by putting more weight on the front quickens the steering.
