Fat Tony,
The genuine ACS Short Shift kit looks something like the Rogue Engineering kit in the photo below. I've seen it fitted and tried it whilst the MC was parked and it does make the gear throw shorter/quicker.
You can also get ACS and BMW weighted gear knobs, as well as Storm and others which are shorter in length than OEM which help with gear changing (I have a BMW non-illuminated one). Personally, I don't like metal gearknobs because they're either too cold or too hot to touch, although they can look good.
The OEM 5-speed gearbox is a very notchy changer and IMO it's the worst thing about the MC, and it's saving grace is its reputation of durability and capable of withstanding the power of the ///M engine
