yep - thats a common one...there was a thread on here somewhere about a replacement side stand option that apparently makes the bike alot more stable...was it the USA stand or something?? or it might have even been a fireblade stand that is a straight swap....hopefully someone can enlighten us...
2005 CBR1000RR stand. Or give Craig (bubseywoo) a pm as he makes/modifies them. Assuming that he's still on here of course.
I went the 2004 CBR1000RR route and its a perfect fit but you do need to have 1 cm or so chopped off the length or the bike sits too upright and it could fall the other way. Also the original switch is re-used as the CBR one looks identical but has different number of wires to connect.
I have a Ventura rack on my 03 and it was always a nerve shredding affair stopping and getting off for any reason when the bike was loaded. Now its spot on and safe as you like
I've gone for the VTR sidestand option. The stand is a much better design and looks loads stronger. Also the switch has the same wiring as the mille one if you use the existing Aprilia bracket (just plug and play).
Everything looks great - however, I am yet to try it yet ?? (it looks slightly longer so the bike will be more upright)

I just wrapped black electrical insulating tape round the foot of the stand until it was the right length,, you only need a few mm more to make a big difference.
I have a fireblade stand complete that I decided not to fit in the end, it does go straight on but does need a little taken out of the stand length. Let me know if you're interested,

There are several options as mentioned above you can also apparently modify the GSXR stand. The US Falco one needs a hole drilling or filling can't recall which the CBR is 04-07 and you can buy direct from Honda

I've just fitted a VTR stand to mine, works a treat but you have to drill a hole for the side stand pin, to locate into, as the orininal hole is in the wrong place. no biggie
pile of *****, waste of time and money, he sub contracts these out and the workshop he uses changed ownership, since then they are using different specs
