A few more tips for my F4i?

So I've cut my harness down to just the sidestand bypass, tip sensor bypass, and starting it in gear bypass.(I've still got the other essentials like fuel pump, relays etc. I'm getting super comfortable at wheelies, especially sit downs. The stand ups feel so weird when my body weight rocks. I've almost lost the bike twice after coming down and having my body weight rock and translate into accidentally power wheelie-ing it back up. I even accidentally pulled one back up while banking left at 30-45 degrees. Scary stuff. I even cut the gauges so I don't get scared of the speed or rpms I'm pulling it up at.

I'm building my own 12 bar this week. I think I'm going to have holes drilled in the subframe 2" apart with holes drilled in the mounting bars for the 12 bar in 1" centers to allow for adjustability from 10" off the end of the sub frame to 2" to adjust as I learn. I'll also build a round bar that bolts to the flat bar of the 12 so I can convert to a round. I'll post pics after built to see what you guys think.

How do I work on body weight control when coming down from the wheelies?

What style rear tire to use on the 2001 F4i? Sport? Sport Touring? Whatever's cheapest?

My progress(I've gotten higher but don't have photos to prove it.

when you go to put it down from a wheelie, let off the throttle and then as the front tire starts to get close to the ground, roll on the throttle to put it down smoothly.
