Well I usually like to put a mix in my tires that includes 78% nitrogen. Has worked well so far.

I don't think the fairing stay needs upgrading though. The main benefit to changing out the fairing stay on some bikes is to get one that doesn't break in a crash. The 300's seems pretty durable and if it did get whacked out of line, a little tap with a rubber hammer in the pits would put it back. On some bikes, like my 675s, the front subframe is cast aluminum and it will break into 3 pieces if you breath on it wrong.

Lots of opportunity for lightening the bike at the point when I decide it will never go back to stock. (generally that happens after my first crash, hahah)
