I haven't had any underseat heat issues, and I removed the heat shielding along with the OEM can to put on a Jardine can. The factory doesn't seem to see any issues with frying anything under there, since the factory Arrow exhaust removes the shielding, too.

Once you replace the OEM tires, wet stopping isn't an issue.

I would not be holding out for a liter Daytona, since there are piston speed problems associated with making competitive power out of a big triple. The little Daytona is pushing the limit (including the supposed redline for an R6) of reliable piston speed and durability, and with bigger pistons, it really becomes an issue. The bore of a 675 is roughly the same size as a 750, if I remember right, and I don't believe Suzuki lets their Gixxer rev over 13K rpm as Triumph allows 675 motors.
