Steve, I'd have to agree with Ian on his comments. I'm no mechanic but with the instructions the freak install was pretty straight forward. Like most stuff I do on my bike though, as long as I take my time and I've done my research properly with info from here and the workshop manuals, it usually works out fine. I also know if I get into any difficulties, I have veteran mechanics and homies on here who I can ask and they've never failed me once. One of the main reasons I love this place and the good blokes on it. Just thought I'd mention my point of view just so anyone thinking of buying the freak wouldn't be put off either.
As far as jetting yourself, it's also straight forward stuff with the only doubts being what sizes are most appropriate to your set up. Perhaps besides Pat's calclator, you could have a quick squiz at the dyno table and try and match up your setup to others. Generally it takes most blokes a few goes at getting your setup working well enough to be satisfied with but the beauty is, by the end you've taken your carbs apart several times and the practice gives you confidence for harder stuff down the track ie, doing your own shims.
Personally, I don't trust stealers much anymore but even if I did, I know when I've done it myself it gives me a lot of satisfaction as well as teaching me heaps in the process. That's even without mentioning how much you'll save in the process. So don't be daunted doing your own sevicing and improvements Bart, all the help is here if you need it.
