Well guys, it's been a little while since my last. I've been a bit Pre-occupied with other priorities but at the same time I've been emailing Carlos from TPUSA about him doing some work for me.

In the first instance he doesn't recommend me doing the 865cc kit cos of the K's I've done. So this looks like the best options:

Stacka - I added carbs, cams, headwork, 904 and igniter to see what price comes up from TPUSA... $4113.00 (US). or $3932.89 (AUD




Certainly a lot of coin and some would say, why not just buy a bigger bike?

Well I've given that a lot of thought too but you know, I've been down this track more than once before but I just know I'd regret it. Hey, even without any performance enhancements, I still wouldn't trade my bike so how's it going to feel to have my bike done up.

My missus is all for it too as she's only too aware how short life can be and she just knows how much fun and enjoyment I get from my bike Ferdie.

Anyways, I said to Carlos I'd run it by you guys and especially Dave cos he's the bloke who put me onto Carlos, ( who I might add seems like a really descent bloke ) in the first place.

The only other factors that need to be worked out is, could stacka do the wrenching himself of disassembly and reassembly???

I'd love the satisfaction of being able to say I did the whatever Carlos didn't do, but without going through the workshop manual, maybe it's just a bit out of my league without first seeing it done by someone else.

So I do need some honest opinions and guidance from others who have done much the same thing to their bike.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has opinions. This is big step to take so I don't want to stuff it.

Yeah, so like I said to Carlos I'd really appreciate anyone's thoughts both good and bad ( if there is any ).

One last thing, provided nothing untoward happens, I'd probably be looking around August before sending my Head and Cams over cos I've got an important ride happening in August that I'm not missing. Also, I forgot to mention but Carlos said once he's got my parts, the turn around is only about a week. How good is that.
