MNDZA it sounds like you really want to find an aggressive position lately lol
Can I ask what the stock position is preventing you from doing? I guess I dont fully understand what a more aggressive position does for someone..
You know what you could do to give you a more aggressive riding position without changing anything?
Slide your butt back on the seat. I know, it sounds so easy. I did this yesterday and was amazed how low it put me. I just scooted back until I was touching the passenger seat. It allows for a deeper tuck. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

I lowered my bars just last week, after 7000 km of riding and now wonder why I hadn't before.
The difference is substantial for more confident and aggressive cornering and I find it more comfortable too. I lowered them at least an inch, maybe more and adjusted the brake and clutch lever positions as well, pretty easy.
There is a reason that serious sport bikes have lower bars, it's all about the cornering. I still find the bars too wide but there's not much to be done about that.
I recommend that everyone try it, you can always set them back to their original position.
had mine adjusted today... huge difference - feels like a new bike! i almost cant decide if i like it though. the OEM position is very comfortable, and after adjusting them forward, it transferred stress or something to my upperback/shoulders making me sore after only a short ride (an hour)... i had been going for 2 or 3 hours without stopping
Ok here is a little video I made:
Good vid. I agree with you. Less pain on the wrists and I felt more confident with the cornering too. The only negative side is how close it gets to the tank on tight turns. When I park it at work, I make a tight, slow, 180. I sometimes hit my fingers a bit, but barely.
