The Wired George article was written in 2007. I get the impression that this might have been the go-to modification before COP mods became the way to go. Still, it shows merit vis-a-vis more voltage in the LT wiring before the coils.
Should it be considered in conjunction to the Stick coil mod?

- we'll be a waiting ........(sound of drummin' fingers) 
Very true.
I guess I'll meter mine when I do it and decide then. I'll let you guys know. I have to finish this first.

Scotch brite filters
Right I chopped up a Briggs & Stratton green foam airfilter to do the job
So I guess I 'm powered in part by Briggs & Stratton
Actually the B&S green foam is somewhat oil resistant
Any yeah the old foam winds up in the caps of the slides and then prticles
down the pilot air tubes which could cause rough idling
So pull all the caps off the carbs and go foam fishing while you are at it !

I use blue std or green heavy duty Scotch Brite scrubbies for the lawn mowers, all the dirt bikes, race bikes, ATVs, race cars, trucks, tractors and anything else that has a foam filter (r/c aircraft, air compressors). They all go bad (Foam Junk), the scrubbies last way longer, clean up better, pretty cheap to purchase and I can get them everywhere. I used to be a fan of UNI Filters but they even break down over time. I use the spring and shell, then relace the outer with a scrubbie and seal with super glue gel & silicone seal and a ty rap, they never come apart after that. Plenty of years doing this with no issues ever.
(AND I do not own stock in Scotch Brite or the parent company att, but maybe I should come to think of it).
I use the blue for dirt and the green for black top tracks, as the blue could be used for all but is slightly more dense and restrictive, but it filters better.

The more I think about it, the more I like just doing the coil upgrade. It actually removes and improves a couple of aging, potential points of failure. I think doing the relay mod would be adding a potential point of failure without gaining all that much by it
Going back to Hueristic's other question. I saw the RR thread where they say the Gixxer coils will seal themselves. Sebastion (the resident coil guru) has answered the the Suzuki coils have the depth needed for a 1000f. I also think he demonstrated his mod in the how-to using non CBR1000 coils, which I think (and he'll have to confirm) are the shorter type of the coil Honda uses. Suzuki used the same coil on all the GSX-R's regardless of displacement
I live and ride in a rainy locale. I definitely feel the need for proper sealing using one of the methods described here.

He asked "If you put a relay in the circuit will the delay in the relay affect the timing? I have no clue as to a standard relays delay and if it is significant enough to affect timing?

Damn I missed this post I ended up buying cbr sticks. AFA the relay mod I agree I'm not going to add another possible point of failure, I'll do the coils then the relay. Also My Dad made a good point that I didn't have the answer too.
He asked "If you put a relay in the circuit will the delay in the relay affect the timing? I have no clue as to a standard relays delay and if it is significant enough to affect timing?
Following now. Never did find my heat shrink but I found some wiring braid that I used for Power supply's so that should d the trick.

Ok a bit of clarification here guys........
In the mod for the CBR1000F, I used Honda CBR929 coils sourced by Sprock. I have used Suzuki stick coils before for the Kawasaki GTR1000 stick coil mod.
The CBR929 and Suzuki GSX-R600/750 Denso coils that I have here are the same length. Neither will seal on the wide spark plug well the CBR1000F has, which is why the simplest, most expedient method of providing waterproofing was cutting off the original rubber sealing covers from the OEM coil.
And I do think perhaps the Stick Coil Guru (behind the scenes) is Naga-Thai
