Haha no problem. The XR1200 I'm pretty sure has the same pistons as the other 1200s but it has decked heads similar to the SE heads bumping it to 10:1. I'm pretty sure in the description for the SE heads it says it takes a stock 1200 to 10:1.

if you are looking for abit more go off the line, and not speed, how about a front pulley change ?.
I'm after the same thing, got a pulley 1 tooth smaller waiting to go on when I get around to it. Alot cheaper than cam change. Looked at cams, I would need to change my tuner also to raise rev limit or the cams would be pointless, so big $$$.

I agree with you on the price thing. I just have the fuelpak which has no control over ignition timing, so its no good when you add cams/mess with static cylinder compression (even though they will tell you it is). The cams are only $300 but then I would have to pay $450 for the SEPST and then $2-300 for the dyno time. So $1100+ for 5-10HP on the top end..I think I'll pass. But I guess I could gloat with the dyno queens at bike night that I have a Sportster with 90HP haha.
i dont know how it ran before the heads- a friend of mine bought it new and put a ton of money in upgrades then sold it to me with 1800 miles on it for what he was offered in trade. i have raced a stock 48 and pulled away from him fairly easily- coulda been the rider and not the bike tho-
thanks for all the input tho. seems like everyone i talk to (HD techs at different shops) tell me something different, i just wanted the opinion of people that may have already done this
