Out of interest, is the side stand on the latest GS's slightly longer, enabling the bike to sit more upright and if so, could it be retro fitted to 2012 hexhead GS ?
The reason I ask, at times with a fully loaded bike ie panniers etc, the lean angle the short side-stand gives, can make it quite an effect the raise if road surface falls away even by inch or two. I know...watch where you park I hear you say but not always possible to find a flat bit. A lot of roads dip near the pavements for drainage. It was just a thought, that a longer stand may solve the problem if they were changeable.
On my 2014GSA the bike did sit more upright than my 2012, this however is not a good thing as it can quite easily roll off the stand if your not careful, just a watchout
