Perhaps synchronizing the throttle bodies? Maybe some heavier end weights to minimize bar vibration? A different windscreen to quiet the wind blast?

6th gear is smoother than the rest. TRE should change this? Just trying to get the last little bit of the I-4 BUZZ out.

Last thing you want is a tre. That ruins the smooth but will set an annoying (((buzz))) to it. You need to be bone stock and that map has to be pouring smooth out the back end of the stock mufflers; or you will lag with the gas and there goes not only the crisp but the smooth remains smooth; but lags more in a lower fuel to air ratio number. Stock will smoke you, you are too fat at the map.
Sync is a given. Valve adjustments are a given before you start out "Smoothing."
You said smooth and that is where I am sending you, because you said, "Not wanting power but smooth me."

hi
i tuned my engine with j&e high compression pistons, ported head, and carpenter cam, to make almost 210 at the wheel
made it smoother than stock by having the crank and rods balanced and retained balance shafts, and balancing the throttle bodies did make a difference as a couple of mine were out

Maybe a suspension upgrade? I love most everything about the 14 except for its spongy ass forks. I would love to have a revalve or some ohlins. I also like my stock seat but maybe Sargent seat can "smooth" things out. Get a steering damper possibly? Good tires and proper balancing is also critical for some "smoothness." Invest in yourself as well. If you got on a trashy helmet or improper riding gear that can make for a not so "smooth" ride. When I ride long distance I like to "streamline" myself by wearing a 1-peice. there is nothing worse than riding for miles on end with some big baggy ass flapping jeans or such. Make sure your chain is not snatchy and sagging. I'm just throwing random stuff out atcha if you can't tell, lol.

Dyna Beads are tire balancing beads. About 1/16 in diameter. They " find " the light spot in the tire as you roll. Since I have polished my wheels I did not want to put the lead weights back on so I gave these a try. Seem to work ok. Hard to tell though but no complaints.Hub, I mean Pissear, why do TRE add vibes? Mapping to 6th gear which seems Smoooothest seems the right thing to do.
