No way...do the same as me and add some hot rod cams. That will be the next big bang for the buck and will fit nicely into your budget at less than 500.00 or so with labour etc. You can build up to 85-90 horse with stock heads, so after the cams, you will pick up another6+ horsepowerat higher revs,and then you will get another 6-7 hp when you do the heads to complete the stage 2. To me, that's money better spent than a 1250 kit.

It all depends on how much power you want and what you want to spend:

If you don't want to spend any money, then start unbolting unneccesary parts. 6 lbs = 1 hp. (unsprung: 6lbs = 2hp).
If you want more without spending a lot, then do cams.
If you need more than that then do cams and stage2 headwork.
If you want to suprise the hell out of him; do a 88" kit.
If you want to stomp all over him and be able to power wheelie in every gear do a 88" kit, with cams, and stage 2 headwork.

Since you already have a 1200, I wouldn't put my money toward a 1250 kit. It would essentially be $750 spent for a 5% power increase; not worth it IMO. It's a great option going 883-1200, but not fantastic when you already have a 1200.

Just remember that if you go with SE E (.551 lift) cams they have a smaller base circle and they are probably the loudest cams you will ever put in your bike. They are the only cams listed as bolt-in for the rubbermounts, but I'm not sure they're the best choice because of the noise they produce. Make sure that you hear a pair in a similar bike to see if you can live with the noise.
