Congrats! Those are some very impressive numbers. I'd love to get those numbers for my bike.

I have a quick question: what is the new fuel mileage after the upgrade?

That's a good question. I rode it home from the dealer Saturday (40 miles), it rained yesterday, and we have five inches of ice and snow today. I'm guessing MPG will be down noticeably.

How would that upgrade effect durability? That performance is amazing when you consider the warranty. IMHO, the water cooled heads allow performance upgrades while maintaining durability; beyond anything achievable with air cooling alone.

Am I correct in my assumption?

I am not knowledgeable about these things to say the least, but I would think you are correct. The wet heads perform better stock, so it would make sense that the performance would be a little better. As to durability, I don't know, but it seems reasonable.

Thanks, and you are right. This thing has so much more power than stock, I don't know how I could ever go back to a stock build. However, if I recall correctly, you have an animal in the works as we speak.

That would be awesome. My buddies have been teasing me, saying, "you might be able to pass us, but you won't be able to pass a gas station."
