Use a sidestand puck, or 2. Stick them under the seat, always handy anyway.

Over on the Superhawk forum they reckon a CBR1000RR sidestand circa 2003-4 fits right on and is longer therefore holding the bike more upright.

I would say it doesn't feel as stable at high speed, triple figure's and that,

but corner turn in feels better like it wants to fall into the corner better, easier and tighter
