FNG, sport bike type has crossed over, many ?'s

As much of a power junkie as I am, don't want to do a turbo. I'll do engine internals, probably the 103 kit someone mentioned, but don't want to add a turbo.
Kromer, your right, chains do look better.
Not worried about needing to adjust 'em more often, and with good chain lube, you don't get a lot of crap slinging onto the bike.

As far as forced induction, I understand not wanting that thing hanging off the bike... but I'd totally avoid any of the "hyperchargers" on the market... the regular big-suckers and stage II a/cs do a better job.
GMR I think, makes a nice 107" kit that stays with the stock stroke, but makes some good power. I think that's about as big as you can go without increasing the stroke, and that's what I'd do.

Sportbikes are so totally different all around from a warmed over big twin; I've ridden a Blackbird, a Repsol and a Tuono; spent a week on a BMW, but there's nothin like rollin on 100+ ft lbs from 2200 rpm...not to me anyhow...whatever blows yer skirt up, I guess.
Kind of a big block mopar vs tuner car sensation???

But now I have something to show people who don't believe the whole lubing a chain on a running bike thing...

Ok, little update for y'all that provided so much help, thanks again. Here's what's been ordered so far: for the engine, a 103 kit, Kuryakyn Hypercharger. Suspension wise, RaceTech fork internals and shocks (Ohlins seemed a little overkill this time around). That added up to $5 large, will wait til next month for wheels. brakes, chain. Exhaust will be a 2-1, haven't made my mind up on that.
Once again, the advice saved me some headaches. Really appreciate it. Will get some pics up here once I get home and put it all together, around Feb.
