I did see online videos where people have bent stock levers by heating with blowtorch but I suspect I may destroy the lever if I experiment with the blow torch.
Early days my fingers. It did not take my left thumb more than a week to get deformed for the riding position. Since the 450 launch, RE has been using the dial style pass switch on all their bikes, taking the piss out of people's thumbs. I can live with that even, but what really gets me is that they are happy selling overpriced junk accessories like headlight grills but won't sell adjustable levers. It is these small things that make me never want to even ride a RE again, let alone buying one.

Yes, I did too. Actually that bike behind his in that video was mine , pending for ECU and tubeless conversion.
That ECU Remap brings a considerable difference in NVH and smoothness in power delivery, something that wasn't completely resolved with FuelX.
There's an issue with seat closure though when you run bunch of accessories like FuelX, Piggyback ECU, Fog lamps, etc - not just on rally seat but also on regular seats. There's simply not enough room for all of it in there.
