I never had an issue with the stock seat on the 999. Riding with leather track pants seems to help. While the pants leather would seem not to add much incomfort with a mere few mill of padding...it does makes a difference vs jeans or some other lesser material.
Exhaust. Never liked a cored exhaust sound. Remus are dang lound and mean sounding. I have termi's, love that too. I know you-tube has some good clips of various exhausts on 999...you might want to listed to cored ones....lound by not a cool loud like mivi, remus, termi.. Sorry to tell you I did not seen a huge difference in a free-flow non-cat exhaust over the stock (which I had used for 1 summer) in terms of heat. Thighs still roast, again the leathers help that situation.
I am not exactly sure what is different on my current 999s with the clip ons. They are stock, but I think the prior owner may have removed the seating pin and angled the clips-ons out just a bit, they are also raised on the tube as as high as they can go. On my prior 999 (same year as the 999s, 05) my hands would go numb after 30 mins or so. On the current bike I can ride for hours with no wrist pain or finger numbness at all. Perhaps a small adjustment change to your stock setup might do the trick I also know the stock levers have little tolerance/clearance to the fairing parts so be careful on what you do select if you do go with a raised clip-on.
Good luck with the mods.
