Thanks to Daniel Wood for sending me these photos of the side stand bracket he fabricated for his Moto Guzzi 850 T. This nicely crafted bracket permits him to use the long side stand. A few notes from Dan:

Here is what I ended up with. I had to carve it out of a block of aluminum. But it works well.

Also it's not as heavy as it looks as the back is cleared out leaving gussets of aluminum for strength.
