Side stand hits MTC link pipe....

So, my X has the new & improved link pipes very kindly supplied by MTC, following the issues of the newer X swingarm (see other thread...).
Anyway, I pulled up at the lights yesterday, & glanced down at the side stand: it was touching the link pipe when in the 'up' position. I got home, un-bolted everything & tried to reposition link pipe to stop this - no joy!!! I may be able to fashion some type of stop to fix to the stand, as the interference is only a couple of mm. I don't think its dangerous, but something will wear out sooner or later - anyone else had this issue??????
