too short for my motorbike

Hi
I have just bought a suzuki gs 500 naked motorbike,I have just had it lowered because I was tipy toe on it.Since getting it lowered it is great to be able to put my left foot flat on the ground when stopping at lights etc. but it created a new set of problems, if there is a slight dip in the road or some corners the centre stand is scraping on the road which has made me very nervous about riding it, I noticed a website where this lady in america has had a pair of boots heightened by going to her shoemaker, just wondering if anybody in australia has done this.
Regards

platform boots
by: Penny

Years ago I wore a pair of platform tennis shoes to try it out and it helped so I bought a pair of good biker boots took them to a local shoe cobbler and added an inch...works great.
