I thought I'd revive this thread. I've thought the side stand was too long ever since I got my 1250 (it probably didn't help that I pulled the fork tubes up 1/2"). I'm constantly worrying about whether the bike is going to fall over when parked anywhere but my garage. So when I saw that A&S listed the Chinese market stand (it's on the 1200RS fiche) I thought I'd give it a shot. I knew it would be special order, but it has to be ordered out of Germany, so it took 3 weeks to get. I used a straight edge with a digital protractor referencing the rear wheel for before and after lean angles on the side stand. With the US stand it was 7 degrees, and with the Chinese market stand it was 10 degrees, so 3 extra degrees of lean. 
Also like GG in a previous post in this thread I was concerned about the angle of the foot to ground, which was good.
