You've really dug into this bike. I'm digging the floorboards, so I have no interest in pegs; I am curious about the 117 kit. What does it offer besides displacement? Are there other advantages?
By he way, can you share your front fork mods again? I put Progressive 422 shocks in the back and gained some ground clearance. The ride quality is vastly better, but I'm still considering options for the front.
Front forks changed to FX Softail, gaining 1 5/8" in length.
+2" cowbells to suit from Zodiac.
Progressive Suspension Monotube Cartridges.
Doesn't scrape at all now, can use all of the rear tyre tread width, andmost of the front.
117 kit with different cams (Andrews 57H) steady useable increase in HP, big increase in Torque over stock. Like having an extra gear, pulls hard from 2200rpm.
It's a torque hotrod now.

Was talking to one of the techs from warrs yesterday & he has the 117 kit on his slim & really rates it, here in the UK it is Ł1600 inc fitting for the kit.
