Why not just buy an actual superbike? You don’t have to spend $10k. My co-worker just bought a brand new Speed Concept for less than $4k. I’ve seen used 7.5’s transact for $2k or less. No need to update brakes or cockpits on one of those; with a decent set of wheels that platform is at least as fast as anything out there. If you’re really budget conscious, throw an aerojacket on the stock 50mm rear wheel and run the front as-is, and your still in the ballpark.


Can you get the same adjustability with integrated front end?


Depends what you mean by "adjustability." There's a fairly broad range of fits you can achieve. But changes aren't easy, to say the least. It's probably not a bike to buy if you're still in the "fit experimentation phase." If you know your fit, though, and only need to set it up once, and want Superbike aero for a lower-mid-range bike price, it's a no brainer.
