I was reading on a forum how some Trikes' parking brake does not hold. A guy installed a "Bullet Brake". I never heard of it.

That should almost guarantee no more tip overs from the side stand folding. I had that happen to my busa twice. Once, it was parked on a slight incline and I did carefully check that the stand was all the way forward. I have no explanation for that one.

Rook, the kickstand on my old Z1000SX used to be bad for that... nearly lost the bike more than once
besides getting a stronger spring and adding a kickstand pad, i also made it a habit to ensure the stand is fully deployed by kicking it, and always parked the bike with a gear engaged
kept these habits with the 14R, even though the kickstand deploys at a better angle and unfolds into parking position with a reassuring snapping noise

I always, always, always do the same with my bikes and did since the first busa tip over. Like I said, I have no explanation for the second. You can grind out a notch to let the side stand pivot forward more.
