Thought I'd share this idea with you.
![Centre stand lock Ssl10717](https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/17/23/83/39/ssl10717.jpg)
An angle bracket bolted to the centre stand mounting.

A lug welded to the centre stand and a padlock.
It's more substantial than the steering lock, less bulk to carry than a chain, you can't ride off with the lock in place (ref; disc lock) and you can't nudge the bike off the stand when parked.
I originally did it to stop the bike falling over on cross channel ferries.
Paul.
