Default Greetings from Canada!

Hi there everybody!

Greetings from everybody's favorite dominoin still under British rule!
I'm new-ish to the site andhavn't really posted anything yet.
I've had my '01 curvy 650S for about 3 seasons now, and by far, I'm addicted to the V-Twin torque. I've got lots of modding under my belt, and truthfully, I can't think of anything more to do. Pics to come soon.

Thanks everybody, for making this forum! Shared information across the Atlantic is truly an amazing feat!

I've dyno-jetted the bike, as well as installed headers and a Vance & Hines exhaust. I've also lifted the tank to allow for better air flow and replaced the filter with a K&N. Is there anything else I can really do to increase HP and Torque without swapping out too much?

You're not trying very hard then!

For a start make it handle. GSXR front end, revalve it. Penske shock.
Then add some power, flatslides, busa pistons, increase compression ratio. Add quickshifter.

Then to really expensive part, reducing weight
