2. Lowering...Is a link good enough?
3. Anyone have a Undertail Elim. with good pics?
4.The tire guard and the guard on the swing arm... Can those be removed and anyone have pics?

Welcome to the site!
1) -1+2 runs about 150+ for a kit...good for either DD/ weekends.
2)YES! I have my ride lowered. Just make sure it is billet aluminum.
3)YES! Look at this post. https://cbrforum.com/m_378072/tm.htm
4) YES! I like them on...but that's my opinion.
The rest of q's can be searched here within the site.

Welcome...
1. You'll get lots of opinions on the chain/sprocket. IMO if it's a daily driver leave it stock and if you ride on the highway leave it stock. That's just my opinion and in a few minutes someone will argue theirs. Most -1, +2 kits are advertised as a wheelie kit. Most are a 520 or 525 conversion.
2. A link will work...but only use one if you really need to lower the bike. With a lowered ride height the dynamics of the bike change and I am sure it would not corner as fast.
3. There are a ton of untertail mods on this sight you can search for...
4. I don't have either on my bike, they were missing when I bought it.
I use NGK Iridium Plugs, Stage 2 Jet Kit, K&N Filters, Mobil1 4T Oil....you'll get plenty of opinions on those as well. Don't expect to get great HP gains with this bike, it is what it is...reliable and quick. If you want wheelies in 3rd gear or to take a GSX-R off the line you got the wrong bike.
But again...Welcome!

Welcome to the site and the bike looks to be in great shape.
You are saying you are thinking of lowering because the rear/front or both are bouncy? If that is the case you just need to adjust your suspension for your weight. Both the front and the rear preload can be set and the rear can also set rebound.
Since you have a aftermarket pipe I would at least put a K&N air filter in (if doesn't have one already), Stage 1 jets would be next.
The sprocket..well are you looking just for acceleration or to be able to pull easy wheelies? I would leave it if wheelies aren't your thing. My F2 is solely a track bike and I still run with stock sprockets.
