Right and right nikonf8....What I did with my little 88 turns heads and it's not all bark either. I really did end up with more than I will use on a daily basis. If I need it, it's there. You are also right on the pipes to but I did lose a little going form what I had to what I now have, it's not hard to feel it missing a little but again., enough to where it's a dog, all bark? Nope, still more there than I will use on a daily basis. If you read many of my posts you will see we disagree on the dyno though. The dyno is a way, a tool to use to pull everything together at it's peak. I did not dyno it with the pipe change but after my heads this winter I will put it back on the dyno afterwards. I think to go as far as we have gone on our motors its a disservice to not dyno it after. I think that may be a little more then my opinion too, I think the numbers on a sheet before and after would show you. Enough to where its so very noticeable? I guess that would depend on the bike and the build. If I had your bike, your build, no offense but I would schedule it with a dyno. Thats if it were my bike, that build, my money. I don't throw that out there to start a riff or to judge, it's only what I would do.

No one knows any better or more about your motor than you. If your bike is at the point where it runs as good as it does and you're happy, nothing or no one elses opinion matters. I look at it, more or less, of bringing everything together. If you trust your guy, his work and his opinion then it's hard to go wrong. As much of a dyno freak as I am and so **** about my bike even I didn't put it back on the dyno after my pipe change. I knew I wasn't done with it and even though it dropped off a little with the pipe change it runs pretty damn good and smooth. I seen no sense in putting it back on after the pipes but before I do this winters mods. I did notice it starting to run rough the end of this season when it got hot but that can be anything, not an engine that has not been dyno'd.
I also catch **** for how and when I change my oil too. I catch major **** for changing out my primary and tranny oils when I do my motor oil change too. ( I didn't do my tranny last time I did oil change but it will get done before it goes back out). I sure can't say that I am rich but I am single, kids are gone and I make a pretty good buck so a few more quarts of oil don't hurt me in any way, shape or form. I figure I already have a mess going why not just do it all while I am right there? I have had a few guys contact me in private for an "oil education" and I can honestly say that these guys now change their oil like I do. Do they have too? ****, do I even have too? The answer to both of those are no but knowing what I know about oil I just can't see doing my oil any other way than how I now and have done it.
There is NO ONE SINGLE THING THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR BIKE THEN IT'S OIL. IT IS YOUR MOTORS BLOOD, IT'S LIFE LINE and I am very **** about it and if that makes me a bad guy then I'm a bad guy!!!
