Whats the correct sidestand?
DigDil:
I've measured the stand and its just slightly shorter than the one pictured at 9 1/2". As Oddjob pointed out I think its bent there's quite a curve in it. Not having one to compare it against I thought it was normal and just the wrong stand.
Bryanj:
Dont remember any cutve in sidestand, should be straight
Oddjob:
Yeah that's bent, unusually upwards. Also check to see if it's bent backwards as that's how they go when you hit them against the road. Needs to be cherry red to bend it back, I speak from experience ;D ;D

That will change the molecular structure however.
Below a pic of my main stand with metal fatigue. Was welded by friend, but after some time bike went down again. My cheap suggestion: have a little piece of wood with you of say 10x10cm, also good when you park in a soft shoulder.
