Standard R system is a 54mm I think. You get a half system in 54mm with the bike. The only upgrade you can do the R exhaust is to get the 57mm full system.

It's going to be the cheapest option, especially given the resale values of the 749/999 series. That's not to say you'll get a better bike though - you may find the 749 more balanced.

How much better would modded Ohlins be versus modded Showa? Surely not much, if any at all? Yet the Showa set-up would be over £1000 cheaper.

Is the Ohlins bling really worth £1000+????

No experience personally, but I reckon the K-Tech modded Showa route (with Ohlins internals) would give you just as good as set up as the Ohlins R&T, but for a fraction of the cost.
