The money your gonna sink into that for a "marginal" performance gain isn't worth it. You wanna go faster get a better platform to start with.

The 1250 kit, cams and head work was well worth it to me. I didn't want another bike.

I'd start with the sprocket and see how long that fix works for you.
Cheapest option by far.
If you do a lot of freeway riding, you probably won't be happy with it though.

If your going to make it faster, then definitely upgrade the brakes so it can stop better. And the suspension so that isn't awful... Yea maybe get a sportbike...
