Taking the Fazer on track is a great idea and an ideal way to understand how get the most out of the bike.
For raising the footpegs I had some simple risers made that raised the footpegs by 50mm, this a more than enough and I am now hitting the left engine case when really trying. The only issue I had was I had to move the rear brake reservoir up and trim the main pipe shorter.
A 180 tyre is not worth the hassle go for a set of 120/160 Pirelli Supercorsas and you'll be amazed by the grip they offer.
I have also converted mine to race shift with a "Rearsets Reverse Shift Kit for Ninja 250R" from Ebay and a couple of Rose Joints.
Getting the engine running spot on will help but the Fazer is so good in the braking area you can make up a lot of what you loose in speed on the straights.
My old 98 Fazer has 88k miles on will still hit an indicated 138 at Bedford with a fairing and a rack.
Let us know which track days you are going to do, as I have only been on track with one other Fazer in the last 4 years.
