I had D&D (Pensacola, FL) do mine. I swapped barrels for ones they stock that are already bored and nikisil coated. For the same price I could have used Wiseco pistons (10.5) or go with D&D's higher compression ones (11.5). I opted to stick with the 10.5. My goal was to not give up ANY lower rpm torque for higher rpm hp.

I feel better about the 10.5 anyway. I burn Mid-grade with no problems and I now have 66 ft. lbs. of torque at 3400 that stays above 60 until 5250. I couldn't be happier and have no plans for more performance mods.

I also tried D&D's lower weight flywheel, but ended up having them swap it back for stock. It essentially gets you more hp, but I noticed a drop in torque starting off. It wasn't a trade off I wanted to make. The whole reason I did the BB was for more torque. I don't care too much about how much hp the bike has at 7500. I compare mine to similar bikes at 5250 where the torque and hp curves cross. Mine is right at 60. You'd be hard pressed to find a dyno of one better. I'm also using stock carbs and airbox.
