Do you weld or have access to a good welding shop? Put a shim under the stand and vary height until it is how you like it. Measure the shim thickness at that point. Take the side stand off the bike and take it to a welder and ask them to weld a piece of hardened steel to the bottom foot of that thickness. With that said, check the side stand cross member and mounting points for straightness and fasteners for tightness. There was a company (Rivco) that used to make thick screw-on pads for this purpose for our bikes, but they are no longer made. This is a common problem for guys who go dark side on rear tires, but again it is not unheard of for the cross-member to bend, so check it.

I saw a post awhile back from MarkT, danged if I can't find it right now. Anyway, he designed a handy dandy kickstand pad to fix that lean. Contact him for the details.

Just be aware that, if you stand it up too much, if the rear tire goes flat to the rim, it could roll over on its right side, especially is the right side is down slope.

Drill a hole put a carriage bolt in and rubber pad btm of flat part of stand. And a stainless castle nut on top of stand and bolt. Cheap easy fix. Works great. Kickstand sits on the rubber. And dont even see it down or up.

I have one that also doubles as a load spreader. Lessens thelean and I can park on dirt and gravel without issue.
