How to make a bike slower, worse handling, and far more dangerous.

And not just effort - expense !!!!  What a ridiculous bike to destroy to make.... anything ! 

The H2R has ben engineered and designed at great expense to be as safe as possible given the speeds it is capable of.  Doing anything to change that is near suicidal...

I near laughed my guts up when I read about their performance "improvements"

It's an H2 not an H2R.

The three guys I know locally with H2's have all changed pipes, mapping and one has done the supercharger gearing. The H2 is bloody good as stock but in out of the crate / ADR spec has more to offer.

Yeah but it's a bloody fast bike with an aero package designed for that, so changing the bodywork seems foolhardy to me.  Changing major components like the swingarm etc - moreso.

Personally I quite like it, I would go for a bigger tank if I was to use it on the road though  :)
