When I had a transalp I used my abus u lock wedge under the right foot peg to repair punctures so anything is an improvement. The 2 side stands are more stable than a centre stand as there footing is far wider. However the balence point front and rear isnt as good so to remove the front wheel somebody has to push down on the rear of the bike or wedgeing a stick, rocks or luggage under the engine case worked as well.
I think the most important thing is to get a very good welder to do the welding as once you get used to it the 2nd stand gets used as much as the first.
