What you might want to do, If you care to... is do what the racers do. Get a set of adjustable clipons and find your comfort zone. Sometimes something like that turns out to be the best mod ever done... I rode a 2stroke RZ350 race bike a long time ago, and the guy had his clipons angled in such a way the when hanging way off the wrists were straight... it was a bitch hanging on in the straights, but he loved it that way
I can vouch for the Pazzo Levers, forexample. They are pricey, and most sneeze at the thought of spending $150 - $200 on levers... but for me it makes a world of difference to be able to adjust them to my comfort. Much more important & usable than $1000 on a exh for a 5hp gain. After all it's the freaking controls, which is why I also went through 3 diff bars on my bike.
where i do like moving the clipon's out and have done it on one of my other bikes and even my pocket bike feels better like that lol. there's just not room on this 10. the levels almost hit the cowl now. to get anymore i'd have to cut something... so fail.
as for the levels, i have heard of the pazzo's and for a while the zx10 guys thought that they somehow fixed the front brakes. so they raved about them. but in the end they just adj farther away from the bar so you couldn't pull them all to the way to the grip like the stock ones could randomlly do. it hid the fail, but didn't fix it. funny how the new calipers cost less than the levers lol
for the little riding i do, i'm ok with the stocker's. since the caliper upgrade i run them on the closest setting anyway, and they feel fine for me. or it could be i just don't know any better, but i'm ok with that, again since i don't ride the thing. and when i do, i'm slow.
