Hey Guys, as my bike is currently stripped down and I'll be opening up my head end soon, I've been thinking about doing some hp upgrades. I've been able to find a lot of info about sohc's relating to big bores, turbos, cams, etc... -but not so much on the dohc side of things.

I don't have a lot of $$$, but I do have some connections with a machine shop, so any boring or machine work would be cheap, if not free.
I found this kit on cycle x, but it's a little high for my price range:



Satanic Mechanic has a lot of good info on bore kits, but it appears its all directed to sohc's. I have no idea how much, if any of that info would be relevant for a dohc.

I don't know much about cam swaps or what options are out there, but I'll try anything once  (honestly, I don't know much about boring cylinders, either)

I've also thought that if the upgrades cost more than a few hundred $$, I may just look into purchasing a 900 engine. I know a guy who will sell me this 900c (running and titled) for $350.



Many thoughts running around in my head  Any and all help to make sense of them is much appreciated!
