Lunchbox:

I have both but I have an E...and I have a custom exhaust. My bike goes pretty good but I'm also alot lighter than other people. Acceleration is a bit quicker but I haven't really noticed a difference in my top end. It goes plenty fast. I've never had trouble keeping up. The stock airbox is really restrictive, that was my first thing to go. So go ahead and do the mods but don't forget to rejet...so you're bike won't queef...

lunch box wont hurt your top end but you could lose some mid range, look at the dyno sheet from the home page its about what the bike will do give or take with your personal mods, captain shes give her all shes got i think shes going to blow,captain i cant give her no more (scotty,star trek) 1969 :mad:

ok this is what you do: go and buy the biggest front sprocket and the smallest rear sprocket you can find

then get this:
