for the majority of sport bikes (read: not the nakeds), there is really, really cheap race (<$400) bodywork available. that solves the bellypan issue and i don't think it's too expensive of a solution.
a more likely solution would be to require oil retaining catch pans. personally, i'd still go for race bodywork.
safety wire is a good thing, but i'd be curious exactly what they want wired... "covering the majors" would be prudent. i don't think "full race wiring" should be required.
kickstands? it IS an impalement hazard. i don't remove mine, but my race lower covers it up.
