Ed, in your last post your said: Quote:
if a person were to change the pipes on this version for the purpose of increasing power, they are bound to be disappointed unless they also change the cams
Funny, but I have never heard that one before. I'm not saying there is no element of truth in it but to say someone who owns an 865cc will be disappointed cos: putting on K&N pods and a good exhaust with the associated jetting won't add much in gains just doesn't add up IMHO.
I mean, even comparing Martin's 865 SM with debaffled pipes, modified uni filter and 132 mains to mine on the dyno table, you can see there's at least a 6 hp and 2 ft/lbs gain.
Unfortunately we don't have a stock 865cc dyno to compare with cos then we would more than likely have even a bigger number differences.
I mean, it just cancels out all logical thinking to say a motor's potential can't be exploited by opening her up 
Staintune Pipes, K&N Pods, 45 pilots, TBS needles and 145 mains.
