Question Shorter kickstand?

Hey all I just did the 2" drop on my M50 this past weekend and am loving everything about it except the fact that the bike seeme to almost stand straight up instead of leaning on the kickstand.

Does anyone know of a shorter replacement or has anyone modified theirs somehow. It's realy just for peace of mind especialy when parking on not so level ground.

Thanks

Don-- re-weld is not an option for me,I don't have a welder.

D m50 It looks like they were talking about grinding the kickstand, I was kinda confused by that link--also I coulden't click on any links without joining.

Is there anything on this forum about it?
It is kinda hard for me--I live in an appartment so I don't have a motorcycle jack or welding equiptment.
Im looking for a simple solution--maby an aftermarket part?
