Upgrading exhaust / air filter and gear

All,

I am looking to see what people have done regarding upgrading exhaust / air filter and gears... I am looking at a new slip on exhaust a K&N air filter and going to a 16 from a 15 tooth gear.

What have you found to increase performance and MPG´s.

The only way I can figure out how to say what I am looking for is: when rolling down the freeway, I would like to be able to roll the gas and go from 65 to 100 much quicker than stock. Today I can go from 65 to around 80 maybe 85 effortlessly.

I only have 6000 miles on my 650 and love it thus far, but that little extra kick at freeway speeds would be great.

Any help would make me happy.
