Well, just got back to Lousyanna (no offense to you natives) from a great break on the Tex gulf coast. Picked up the BA in Houston from Cycle Sports Unlimited on the way down.. Ken and his staff apparently did a great job. The OTD (out-the-door) cost was $813 and I furnished the Weisco kit and Barnett clutch springs. I apologize humbly, but I can't remember the member here who recommended them, but thanks.
The first thing I noticed on start-up, was the sound. Much deeper coming out of the Epcos. The deep sound is really pronounced on deceleration.
Spent the night in Houston (Sugarland actually) about 30 miles from the shop and tried not to maintain a constant RPM. It definitely has more 'umph'; as in Tri-umph, especially the torque. Next day was a bloody headwind all the way to Rockport--again I did my best to vary the RPMs much to the frustration of my wife following behind in the car; kinda tough on the freeway, though.
Wife and I rode down to Corpus Christi (about 35 miles) a few days later. This is where it really pays off. Riding two-up shows a definite increase in performance.
Bottom line? Was it worth it? Yep, it was.
