Our site sponsors are always the first check. I also use Pashnit, revzilla, cyclegear, and a few others. Just depends on what you want. Shopping on Revzilla is awesome with all the review videos they do, then search for the best price.

Ebc HH "Extreme Pro" pads are ceramic embedded, and different from standard HH pads.
As Arch said, RaceTech(or Ohlins), you can call and send them your forks.
You will need to adjust your rear shock, but a spring change is not needed.
If money is no problem, you can buy a RaceTech or Ohlins rear shock, but again, not needed.
Levers can also make a difference.
Just from feeling or fitting better in your hands. Not a need, but the more comfortable you are on the bike, the more control you will have and more relaxed you will be.
ASV have finer adjustment than any other.
Shorty levers are also good for 1-2 fingers on the levers.
At your size, you may want to change the peg position too. Either adjustable rearsets, or just a lowered peg.
There are different bar setups as well.
The Busa aftermarket is huge, and makes it easy to make the bike fit you the way you want.

Yes.
What are you looking for?
Revzilla is excellent to deal with, price, shipping speed, customer service, no hassle returns, best place to buy gear too.
Anything and everything. Fender eliminator, blacked out windscreen and tail lights, rear sets, frame sliders, tank pad, levers, etc.
I'm not that guy who wants a lot of power. No turbo for me. I just want it to look and sound pretty. Just a little extra power won't hurt. The bike scares me enough. Putting a turbo on it might really scare me.

Bar risers or Heli-Bars (bars with a bend that raises them and changes the angle), or both
combined can help the hand.
The thing that really helped my hands (I wear xl gloves) was Pro Grip 761 grips.
Pay no attention if you see them listed as scooter grips, as they are bike grips.
Not squishy, or rock hard, and a larger diameter in the center, tapering down to each side. I've put them on my last 2 bikes and a 4 wheeler.
I love them, you may hate them, but at $12 a pair, they really are no risk, and Pro Grip has been around a long time. ebay has them cheap.
At your size, a bigger grip may help.

A fender eliminator can be made with some cheap angle brackets too, beats $100 aftermarket part.
There are license plate bolts available with lights in them too, if your state requires them.

Also check out the trash can mod before buying a fender eliminator. Just search on that.

Are you putting your weight on the bars? You should have your weight on your abs, no weight on the arms. Also you turn the throttle like a screw driver, most turn the throttle so the wrist gets bent. If all that is good follow Sixpacks advice on correcting your riding position. At 6'4" you probably need some adjustments.
All this advice and we never asked you how do you ride mostly? Cruising, twisties, drag racing, street racing, distance, etc.
Well this is my first bike so I'm taking it slow. I love to chill and cruise, but sometimes I like to get on it. I am not into dragging it. Cars...yes! I am to scared of the bike to drag it.
I like the idea, but I bought a backpack so I don't need the extra space. Awesome idea though.
I'm not into racing my bike. I'm to scared of it. I like to cruise on it, and sometimes roll on the throttle. I like to go fast, but only when I feel safe enough to. No racing for me. In a car.....yes all day. Not on the bike.
