Welcome to the forum.

There are a few options with the sidestand but the cheapest is going to be a CBR1100 Blackbird stand http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... =sidestand

The only caveat to that is the blackbird/x11 and fireblade stand is llonger than stock Storm, so if you aren't raising the rear end the bike may sit much more upright with the danger it could topple over. If you have the spacer under the rear shock it should be ok.

That's a point I forgot about that. Oops Looks like you will have to get an original storm one then.

Welcome, just a thought what about taking the stand off and applying some heat with a blowlamp and bending it to the right shape?
