Question

I know there are exhaust upgrades and dynos but i cant find anything like ram air kits ,minor things like that.

Answer 1

Well, I can not get over the need to get more horse power and steadily decreasing mileage out of perfectly running machines.  If there are no after market kits, I guess you'll just have to suffer along with making you own. What a calamity!

I suggest you look for an imported Magazine from Great Britain: Performance Bike.  Each issue the have 6 or 7 vehicles, they test them flat out, high speed,  Current issue is about a 2003 Hayabusa vs. a 2007 Haybusa.  with the mods they made it handles a lot better and beats it down the straights as well.  Maybe they will  do a Vstar 1300 issue soon.  Everything from the 250 Kawasaki to the hayabusa.

Answer 2

Leave a great running engine alone, save a bunch of money and buy something that will run. I love cruisers but power houses they are not. Look to an cross mount 4 ricer, the Honda XX 1100 has 136 hp and has been used to tour and will RUN. A Gxr 750 is a little odd these days but runs well and may be had reasonably.
