Would switching the rear suspension out help? What are some other things I might do to help with going at this speed for this amount of time each day?

If the road surfaces are good I don't think changing out the rear shock will make any difference, especially riding one up. I've had my bike up to 85 on the interstate and it was smooth sailing as far as the suspension goes. Mind you the wind blast requires you hang on at high speeds and that's with the fly screen and visor installed. Jamie has probably had more experience with his Street Triple in various conditions than anyone on the board at this time. You might direct your inquiry to him. He has made the change to the Daytona mono shock as well.
