Does anyone know of any good aftermarket parts sites for the 2003 era of Supersports? Aside from replacing the 620 engine with an 800 or 1000, I am looking to add a little more power but have not found much out there. I think the easiest thing would be to replace the exhaust on mine with a set from the 800 or 1000 as the US versions of those did not have the catalytic converters that mine does have (from what I can tell from the documentation). Since my bike was purchased by the original owner in NY, I assume it does not have the Cali emissions, but need to check it out to make sure.

I was just smoked by a (non Z06) Vette this weekend from a dead stop, and although I did have my wife on the back and held 2nd gear way too long, I still feel I should have put up a better challenge. My bike is great in the turns, but I want some more straight away power. Any hints / tips are appreciated.

Aside from those specific items, I would also be interested in any sites in general that deal in parts for these bikes. Most I find only go back to 2005 models, with a few to 2004, but none dealing with the SS models.
