Buy an R1

The Dyna will not give you more HP but you can raise the rev limit with it.

High compresson pistons will increase your HP and will be a good combo with the Dyna. You will not have to re-bore with high comp pistons.

I went with the HC pistons, and the only thing I noticed was less hesitation on quick acceleration.

The best part of buying a R* is that you spend all your time trying to make it go faster

Change the pulley and you will be more impressed than most engine mods. then you might want to raise your rev limit. I have all you have on your ride and the pulley change was the best.

You want more power? Let the wallet drain dry... lol!

Hi-comp pistons coupled with the dyna3000, ported manifold, ported heads, bigger carb, cams... need I go on - or can you afford me to go on? lol! I'd be willing to bet if you browse through the tech section here you can pic up all kinds of neat ideas. Me, I'm thinking cams and a new carb over the Winter...

It just never ends...

Maybe a 31 tooth pulley? It would get you off the line much quicker!

definately will get you off the line faster. Won't give you anymore more power, just a better hole shot. Plus, what you gain at the beginning you may lose at the end, though it most likely be unnoticeable as most of us don't cruise at over 100mph... at least I hope not...

You'll realy FEEL that 31T pulley as opposed to the stock 33T and that may satisfy you. (probably not)

Here's an article on more . . .http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/tech/RoadStarHopUp/
