Install complete. Took it out for a ride and response is good. Will put some miles on it before I put it through the gears. Top end is a little louder. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Thinking about doing the 30t sprocket next. Any thoughts?
A quick update, I'm hoping to get my bike back tomorrow. If not tomorrow then it should be Wednesday. My builder said the kit was great, he decided to use the head gaskets and perfect fit pushrods that comes in the kit.
I am so looking forward to getting it back.

HDMLNIUM - How's the Stage 5 ? Dyno #'s ? How's it run ? I've got 500+ miles on mine so far - and I love it.....gotta get used to the power/throttle response at low rpm when in the city. Bike wants to go like crazy, doesn't have quite the 'street manners' of the stock motor. What do you think?
Heavier duty Clutch spring only change. At 500 miles - no issues. Didn't expect any problems at 500 miles..... The added power is really worth a clutch improvement, if necessary.

I've put a little over 200 miles on my bike so far. The bike feels real good, torque is for sure up as I can roll on the throttle even in 6 gear and it pulls good. I am hoping to get it dyno tuned in a couple weeks. I want to put 500-1000 miles on it before then.
I will post back after the dyno tuning.
