try an adjustable kickstand. maybe they can be extended.
thought*** check if your kickstand has a notch cut into it to make it extend farther. maybe that is the problem.

what about the kickstand mod? think that might be why it sits lower.
Your over thinkin it, assuming nothing is bent or broke, you'll be fine. Ive got an 18" rim outback with stock links and the arm set at about 7' over. She leans, but nothin that worries me.

Here's a pic. As you can see, it's leaning quite a bit further than FastFrog's bike or other Busas I have compared it to. The Shinko 003 Stealth rear is actually kind of flat and I would think it would be more like lowering the bike than raising it.
It's been this way since I bought the bike. It's a bit heavy pulling the bike upright off the stand and the garage is pretty crowded. Going out to the garage to see if I can bolt something to the foot of the kickstand......

Wow, you defiently got some lean goin on there. I thought you were just bein crazy. 
Did the previous owner do the kickstand mod? Maybe the previous owner chopped the kickstand when he had it lowered?
Can always put a small board or something under the stand for when your home, probly wont be easy to carry on a ride with ya tho.
It should be about a foot long overall. If your's is cut and ya want a stocker, ill trade ya. I send mine to ya first so you wont lose any riding time

Actually, the famed kickstand mod has never been done. I don't think I could move it off the stand if I wanted to without picking it up.
Don't know why it's this way, it just is.
measure it and see edit on my other post

Fastfrog007, thanks a million. I don't know how I missed your pic before, but have been wanting to know exactly how long the stock stand is supposed to be. Unfortunately, my stand is exactly the same length as yours. I'm starting to wonder if the previous owner put in links to raise the rear, although that in itself would be unlikely and all the suspension settings were set to stock positions when I got the bike.measure it and see edit on my other post
