      That's outside the purpose of this category. It's already making podium in the American Twins Cup anyway, racing along side RS660 and R7 that are tuned to 100 hp.

      Akrapovic, M4, and other brands make the most power on this bike so far. The intake is a very restricted system. Swap that for T13 brand airbox and ECU flash. Factory is about 77 hp. The mods I mentioned make 93. Yes, it's very stopped up.

      Akrapovic or M4 make the most power.
      Turn 13 Motorsports airbox (version 2) swap, opens up the top end power.
      2 Wheel Dyno Works ECU flash is tops in the States.
      For deep pockets, Vance & Hines makes custom camshafts and a race kit.
      Dymag wheels if you're interested.
      Order BST carbon fiber wheels if you have deep pockets. You'll have to request that direct to manufacturer.
      Hot Bodies Racing might make lightweight fairings.
      Zero Gravity double-bubble screen for better aero.
      Andreani for suspension help. K-Tech perhaps.
      Bellissimoto has Matris shock and steering damper, as well as control levers, rearsets, and such.
      Various brands of rearsets, find one that you can swap to GP-shift.
      Lithium battery drops weight.
      Swap to 520 racing chain and sprocket set for less drag and some weight loss. With the new HP you make, consider changing final gearing.

    - The spider clip on tubes you are using are 250mm, do I need to order a bracket separately for that? If so, what size bracket?
    - Do I need to get new forks in order to replicate this process or can I use the spider clip-ons with the standard forks?
    -Lastly, If i follow through with this, would I need the triple clamp?
