very well put denny! thats what iv been trying to say the whole time... theres no reason to buy a 250 dollar head when you can do your stocker and get the same gains, i dont know many people that change thier domes yea its nice to have but wash your the first person i know that changes them once they got thier bike up and running.
as far as why do we suggest porting first denny hit it on the head..
all the bolt on mods are nice but they dont truly shie until yo get your motor ported , thats when you truely wake the monster inside... you can spend 500-600 bucks on bolt on parts and sure youll have some gains, or you can send 300-400 on a good port job and get GREAT gains, then to complment those gain by adding your bolt ons later.
