Lots of opinions there to weigh up & I would rather hear an opinion & make a decision than not here one & not even know there was a another potential outcome to take into consideration.
In this case I understand the BTL idea, I don't & doubt I ever will put the bike around a circuit type track (closest track would be nearly 1000Klms away). Having lived with big bore dirt & street bikes for some 25 plus years now I can actually get a few kicks chattering the back end into corners sometimes, usually not an issue while the rear rubber is good, but as it wears down it becomes more evident. I think it is a good idea to point out the downside of the mod also
The extra weight on the throttle pull, needs consideration for touring duties. I did not notice it on the ZRX, I think the extra easy access to grunt made the extra effort required unnoticible on my part, even when putting 900klm days. As for making it jerky, I find the 'Busa is jerky off closed throttle @ low speed already so not sure what to think.
