I just put on a taller rear tire, and my bike leans noticeably more on the kick stand.
I could weld an extension onto the current stand, but I'm looking for something a little more elegant, like a kickstand swap or a custom made aluminum piece.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Longer kickstand
With some aluminum bar stock and a grinder you could probably fab one up. A lathe and mill would be preferable but in a pinch.... Then just drill and tap for a place for the spring to attach and a place to grab with your foot to kick it out.
Another one of those things that's been on my list for awhile but I've never gotten around to doing.
However, a small disk welded to the bottom of the current kickstand plate probably wouldn't look too bad if done properly.
