how much for a 883-1200 conversion?
I'm looking at bikes on ebay and keep seeing 883's. would it be worth it to buy one then get the 1200 conversion? i heard they are faster after the conversion then a stock due to gear ratio.

$2200 parts and labor for the SE 1200 conversion kit around here. $1000 more if you want cams with that.

883 gearing will make it quicker, not faster. You will have higher RPMs at a given speed (compared to 1200 gearing).
Lots of options on a conversion, can you install it yourself, set a budget and stay within it.

BUT it does NOT include the the heads though. You reuse your 883 heads. Kind makes it an apples to oranges thing. I believe it costs more once you add the 1200 heads.

In THEORY, yes. They can void your warranty and you can fight it. Reason? You made the bike do something WE didn't design it for. BTDT with my cars before. Again, they can deny and you can fight it but is it worth your time?
I go by a simple rule. You mod, no warranty. If you can't live with that, don't mod.
