Well you have a choice to have either more power or better sound.
I would most likely do power. This way you will know if a upgrade with sound is a good idea.
A big bore kit with every thing that is needed to do it right will = more exhaust sound. There is a point as where the exhaust will hurt the sound-not necessarily volume here- but interference with the sound. Just won't sound right no matter what you do except spend a lot of money for a upgrade system other than the biketronics. Biketronics is a good system. I have the dual amps-180 watts each with their speakers around some place. It did a good job.
Good luck with your decision.

If your into bragging at the bar about your dyno numbers and racing stoplight to stoplight, go with the motor work. If you enjoy riding your bike, do the audio, seat, etc. If you enjoy music while you ride, an audio upgrade is a must. And if you get a new seat, get one with a backrest. As you can see from my signature, I enjoy bragging, racing and riding! Good luck!

I say get the seat and bars - bike is for riding not racing - 103 makes plenty of power for me - don't think you should be blasting radio like a kid in a boom car...

I haven't turned on my radio in 6 years and I think led's look ghetto. So you guess what I do.

I would really like to do the 107 and motor work too, but so far I've just worked on cosmetics, audio, and comfort. I feel like that is more important for our travels than the motor work. Plus I already have my woman pounding my ribs with what it will do now.


have you considered maybe just using the $2300 towards audio, seat and maybe some new cams? probably can do all that for that $$$. This way you have the comfort stuff and wake up that 103 too...
