Thanks for your help!

Save your $$$, buy a service manual and slow learn to perform the upgrades yourself. You'll gain another of appreciation of your bike.

Big Bore 103 kit with 255 cams, Rinehart slipons, new stock lifters with sert tuner and labor was 3100.00 here at my dealer in NC. It runs like its supposed to and will scream down low. Im glad I had it done and worth every penny. If you dont want to spend more than 2 k go with the sert, pipes and cams with the stage 1. my 2 cents
