If you can turn a wrench you can do it. We're here to help you. If you have any further questions just ask. But I wouldn't pay a stealer to put that stuff on at $60+ per hr.

$60/hour???? You are lucky!!!

But in all seriousness, to add to what he said, DIY and if you are worried about performance, go have the bike tuned after the install. Depending on the parts, you could get a 20-30HP gain.

I wouldn't do the fuel pak, if you can swing the extra bucks get a power commander.

I was saying around a 20-30 increase. That also depends on the high flow air intake and pipes. I believe I read that the pipes are 12-18 and the high flow air intake 8-12. However, my numbers could be wrong. Those also are dependent on a dyno tune.
