Right after the pump

I would put the filter right after the pump. It doesn't really need one before the pump but if the plastic one that comes with the kit isn't suitable for use in the preasure side, you may as well use it as a pre filter in the hose coming down from the tank to allow for one of the clamp off points for easy tank removal.
.
The fuel pump is apparently triggered by the fuel computer with a short, timed build up for starting and then continued operation only with the presence of an rpm signal. A tip over switch would help keep the engine from oil starvation in the event of an unconscious rider with the bike on it's side but shouldn't be all that critical of an ommision because anything that causes the engine to stop, such as a wreck with a rupture of the fuel system, should also kill the fuel pump.
