Does anybody know of a good place to get transmission work done on a bike engine? Has anybody had their transmission racecut? If so is it worth it? And where is a good place to have it done?

We leave ours stock - we're making less power than stock on a 4 cylinder.

It's been done, and isn't all that difficult.
The real question is why do you want to do it?
edit:
as in - what benefit do you think you'll gain from the time/energy/expense?

Just so you guys know, he is talking about undercutting the transmission dogs to help with shift time, not the gear teeth themselves.
I'm in the process of getting a full new gear cluster made by Nova Transmissions here in the UK for my hillclimb car, but that's an 1100 with a 6 speed cluster from a 750 so needs to be beefed up. They undercut the dogs (and use less of them per gear). This apparently helps with preventing jumping-out-of-gear.
As others have said, I would doubt you need any work done to your gears to cope seeing as you're having to breath through an inlet restrictor?
