The three variables are stand length, height of mounting and angle it is mounted at. My first bike (Honda Benly 200) had a stand that progressively bent away from the bike until I came out one morning and the bike was on it's side!
You can't change the first two without getting the tools out, but the third can be altered with a chamfered spacer between the stand and the mount. ie if the spacer is thicker at the bottom than the top when the stand is down, it will push the stand out further sideways - Just make sure that it doesn't go out to far or all the weight of the bike will be at the top of the sidestand - Benlys are cheap to fix, Ducatis are not!
Hope this helps, Chi
