Suggested to let them be for several hundred miles until break-in.

Fully assembled and pdi'd by whom? $9 an hour guy? If so then no thanks.
Suggested for several hundred miles by whom? As a factory certified tech of a major brand I am suggesting that anyone with enough skill is fine to mod a brand new bike. It happens literally every day. I understand that some hobbyists might be apprehensive but not all people are the same.
I also understand what you are saying but with all due respect he didnt ask if he should modify it. He asked what might be good things to modify. With experience, everytging I mentioned can be applied to his bike without a doubt.
Forums have a tendency to answer questions in a manner that dismiss the actual question. He wanted mod suggestions not advice on whether or not to mod it. Many folks should not, but that wasnt the question.
