Yes a few people in the history of this forum have had their sidestand bent, most of them caused by themselves by sitting on the bike with it down. They are not very strong and they are not covered by warranty unless they just break in an unconventional place. But..... you can always try with your dealer. (they are not very expensive anyway)

if I remember rightly they are 45 quid before vat, an RAC towing flat bed truck once bent one of mine and they had to buy it back it came to about �64 all including fitting. (1.5 years ago)

My xtr came with a bend sidestand and i got told it was around �30 but i didnt wanna get a new one so took the bend one off, heated it rebent it, and then sprayed it up, its holding after 1 month of use but the paint around the heated area is started to peel only a wee bit.

It is possible but to get a splint in would mean the it would be very very small as if you have CCC cans the link pipe is very close to the back of the stand where you want to put a splint. If you know what i mean so clearance could be a issue.
