3) Install a Power Commander or similar ECU modification

Waaaaay beyond my competance, this. If I went down this route it would be with a bigger boy holding my hand I think.

Installing the PC III was literally a matter of unplugging a couple of connectors and adding it into the loom, plus connecting a wire to the battery negative terminal.

All you need apart from that is a laptop to install the basic fuelling map that you can download from the Dynojet site.

I've read that braided on the back makes the brake a little bit grabby

I've never experienced that.

5) Swap the OEM fork springs and rear shock for a decent set of aftermarket ones

Think I'll start with 15W fork oil first

All that will do is to increase the damping meaning that the bike won't dive as quickly under braking, but neither will it recover as quickly either. It will give a harsher ride, however the springs are still going to be soft, so it will still dive, just ore slowly.
