I spent a lot of $$$ trying to get the power up on a V-Twin (only to cause other problems) which already had the comfort covered. This time, I am starting with more power than I was able to get by spending all of the $$$ on V-Twin performance mods and will tweak what I can on the ergonomics and electrical toys. In the end, I think I will have better reliability and fewer problems.
