I saw your first post when you talked about the tuner damaging the bottom end. Is the cost for this work all coming out of your pocket?

My '00 95" Stage II from the factory with 9.4 to 1 compression, 203 Cams, ( now upgraded to 26G Gear Drives,) Hi Flow A/C. download and stock heads just turned 92,000 miles last week.

I replaced the heads with some take offs at 67,000, the cams at 81,000, ( tensioners finally went.).

Daily rider/ 75 miles a day commuter. 46 mpg, and it starts so easily that I still have the original starter in it. Rock solid motor. ( And a cheap upgrade.)

Default big bore

I have said this many times here on the forum if you are doing the big bore kit you should do the heads this is where you will see a big difference. a friend of mine who had a deluxe with a big bore kit who was always bragging how fast his bike was pulled up to a stop light next to me one day . i had been listening to his crap all summer on how fast his bike was.I guess he could not put two and two together i got the same big bore kit with my heads done and for some reason he thinks hes got the fastest bike in the east lol. i knew we were going to rip when that light changed and sure enough we were on.All he saw was the rear of my bike the whole way. when we got to the next stop which i was there quite a bit before him he said nothing but did his heads with in the next two weeks. do the heads if you really want to see a difference.
