upgrade the brake pads to some thing like ebc HH pads, bleed the fluid with RBF600.

Agree w this. RBF600 is expensive, but it's really worth it. Definitely nice HH pads in the front, and I like to specifically put organic pads on the rear. Mid-corner rear braking politics aside, if you do go off track and stay upright, you will want to use your rear brake at some point. I also keep stock rubber lines and bleed a little air into the rear system. Unlike the front, I like to have as much modulation in the rear as possible. FWIW, the (stainless) lines on my R6 rub at full lock and the outer coating has started to wear over the years. I'd either fix the positioning or get stainless lines. Other than that, the only issue I could forsee is maybe yanking on the lines if you get into a tankslapper? Dunno, I've never highsided.

Also, consider a toe guard. They're relatively cheap, take 5 minutes to install, and are a good safety measure that are often forgotten about.
