·I am planning on the following engine mods this winter once it gets too cold to ride regularly (mid to late November):
Remove engine and pull it down.
Connecting rods - polish and shot peen/nitride, balance, and coat with oil shedding coating.
Pistons - balance, coat skirts with low friction coating, coat tops with ceramic reflective coating.
Crankshaft - balance, aero shape the throws, and coat with oil shedding coating.
Head - Get stock flow numbers, port and bowl clean up, dimple low velocity areas, cut for added compression, get modified flow numbers, ceramic (reflective) coat chambers, valves, exhaust ports.
Possibly add crank scraper to reduce windage - need to look at this in detail.
Since I am doing most of this myself, the cost is low.

Custom cams will follow at a later date - stage 3.
I will post photos and measurements as this progresses.
