The pipes, jetting and K&N air filters made a hell of a difference in the way mine ran.

Oh yes I'm sure it would. I'm limited in mine to what I can do. Seeing mine is electronic fuel injected, anout the only things available is through Harpers, there's some "performance" mufflers. And also available is a $300.00 computer box, and that's about it..

Do you really think K&N air filters make a difference? I've tried them
on two different vehicles, one with a carb and one that was fuel
injected. Other than being a bit louder under full throttle, I didn't
see any performance difference. Isn't it true that a stock air filter
is designed to pass the maximum amount of air that the intake can
handle? If so, of what benefit is a K&N? They may be capable of more
air passing through them under test conditions but if the intake only
demands what a stock filter can handle, what's the point?

I don't know if the K&Ns pass more air or not. With the three changes I made to my bike it
accelerated much faster. I do know that I can dismount, clean, oil, and replace the K&Ns in about a
half hour. The stock air filter would take at least an hour just to get to it...buried under the gas
tank between frame members with tubes going everywhere.

Here's what the stock filter looks like:

Here's a pic showing how it's mounted, but you have to look very closely. It's under the top center
frame member, between the two side frame members, snuggled down between the two cylinders.

Here's the K&N installation:
