One technique that comes to mind is not spending much time accelerating. Accelerate briskly, shifting near the torque peak, and get into top gear ASAP - then minimal-throttle cruising.

I know you don't want to do a lot of mods, but lower bars and a front fairing/windshield might give some improvements. Maybe not as significant as if you were on the hwy, but something.

What RPM are you cruising at most of the time in top gear?
