Just got my bike back after having CR575 cams and new bearings installed along with the heads ported and polished and the SE clutch spring put in. I just went with the DirectLink tuner, I don't see myself going in and tweaking the numbers myself. The bike went from 74/90 hp/tq to 95/105. I imagine my V&H short shot pipes cost me a little power, but I love the look and the sacrifice is worth it.
The bike has been completely transformed not only in it's performance but the way it sounds. I am very happy with the way it came out. And after all of that I can't find where they put a scratch on it anywhere. I was worried about that. The only thing they did I don't care for is put a chrome oil filter on it, but that's an easy fix next oil change.
Finally got it lowered as well so now I have only a few more things on my list to do to it. First off is a new seat and then a new shift rod and maybe a speedo/tach combo. Oh, and possibly some black lower fork sliders.
After that I don't know...I'll probably just start a new list.
