1250 upgrade question

RE: 1250 upgrade question
Thanks for the info! Now I gotta decide whatI want to do for the heads. I am starting to lean towards just buying the stock XB/1200R heads from NRHS for $709. I read somewhere that they would be like having a stage 1.5 job done to the 883 heads. The good thing is i can always upgrade the heads to stage 1 2 or 3 later if i wanted and they would still be better than 883 heads. I could also use the 10.5:1 flat top pistons but I'm wondering if they would be reliable enough to use with 91 octane or not. I want theengine to be fast but iwant it to be reliable also.
I'm ready to buy so I'll give NRHS a call Monday morning. If anybody else has any tips let me know.

Also, I wouldn't trade my rubbermount 883 heads for solidmount 883 heads. If you ever want to go with more agressive cams, then you will need to change out the springs and that just adds additional cost. The valve train in the 04 bikes is better from a performance standpoint. It does have looser tolerances, though, so it may wear out sooner. Time will tell.

Is it really worth the extra $250 for the 1250 vs the 1212 kit???Is it only going to be an extra 5 or so HP, or is it a good bit more???
