RE: 1250 question
The performance gain would be negligable and there is a likely increase in oil consumption based on reports here. The 1250 upgrade is better suited for 883 owners that want to increase performance.

you already have good heads , just get them ported and polished , you could also have them decked and get a higher compression ratio but will need shorter push rods , also some high lift cams and an ignition moduale would be in order. if you are looking for gains in torque as well as h.p then a 2-1 exhaust will be your best bet along with a good high flow air cleaner.

RE: 1250 question
After doing the suggestions made by jwb47, would changing to 6 gears (I'm sure I've read on here somwhere that there is a 6 gear kit available for the Sporty, not from HD though, but forgive me if its an Urban Myth) not be worth considering? Wouldntit make better use of the extra performance the others mods had made?

What will be my best options for maximizing performance without case boring?
In my opinion, if you have a 1200 rubbermount, then the best way to maximize performance is a new set of cams and a 2-1 pipe. You don't need any headwork as the stock heads will support 90-95 rwhp.
