Simple sidestand improvement

After raising the rear the sidestand become even worse, would tip over very easily.
I have a brandnew gsxr one also but no time the modify it....
The simple mod is to add 20mm bushings and longer bolts so the stand is more outwards.
Now it is as "good" as it used to be!

Looks like a good idea to me but....... won't it increase the leverage effect considerably on the 2 bolts?

Those spacers look solid enough to prevent any bending if they are steel.

What about the clearance on cornering?

Cornering aint an issue , lots and lots of clearance.
There are two 10mm bolts in there, more than 10 times stronger than the sidestand itself.
