Update. Kit is on and picked the bike up today. The dyno numbers are pretty impressive (If they are true). 126.8 HP at 5800rpm, won't be getting the bike up there any time soon if ever. 135.9 Tq at 3800rpm, which is do able.

I might have said screw them out of spite. Not sure I would want to give this dealer money, simply because they did not advise me when I ordered that it wwouldn't work. You could argue, it was your problem, you asked for it.

But I guess, alls well that ends well you got your bike and big engine.

Another $1700, damn lot of money.

The good thing was they gave me 15% off all parts. So at the end of the day I am happy.

In the end you got to say I got a product I am enjoying, money is spent already and it is over with. Move on, and enjoy it.
