How many have gone the whole hog - or should that be RAT? - and installed the FCR's 39s (or larger), modded cam, big bore kit and modified head?

Tell us about your experiences, and or dreams/goals with these mods.

I've done it all, & am very happy with the results. Yes it was expensive. Good things often are. But I've never regretted a cent of it. I'd have sold the bike years ago if I hadn't unleashed a few more ponies. So it's well worth the money IMO

Thanks for that Scratch:
So up to now 4 people have done the FCR conversion, and 2 have done the can, big bore and modified head. 8 are planning on going big and 4 are happy with what they have.

It would be great to hear from more riders who have done the dirty deed, so to speak!

happy with the mods so far which are carbs,pipes and cams.
Looking around at big bore kit when i decide which one i go then have to find a workshop to do the work and do the head.

You can never have to much power
