Actually laughing out loud. Although I wear jeans and textile jackets so I couldn't possibly fit this criteria

On my mobile whilst at work. Really appreciate all the top advice I'll reply properly later Thanks guys

This is the problem I'm having, the bike has already been resprung and has a new rear shock, braided hoses throughout. It handles fine! I just want more poke lol. Glad to know I'm on the same sheet as you.

Sorry. Should have clarified. I already know how to ride the bike, been riding since I was a nipper. Bike has progressive springs and a cbr600RR4 rear shock so doesn't handle badly either.

Sorry been out at work, Current situation is the bike has swallowed most of the budget being rebuilt (bearings, paint, powdercoat etc) I could probably afford to throw about £400 at it right now however further down the line more money is not a problem. Would £400 be adequate to achieve anything?

Hello chaps and chapettes, Recently started a rebuild on my 97' b12. I've got the engine on the bench and whilst everythings being painted and getting new bearings etc I thought i'd look into boosting the power out of the old thing. I'm completely green when it comes to much more than air filters, jets and exhaust systems. I've treated the bike to a full new system, a new K&N and some bigger main jets so far to accommodate the full system. Can someone please go into the modifications like head skimming (I have absolutely no idea of how much can be removed without damaging anything or running into problems) and GSXR cam installations with me as to whether its worth it? the other option being a '750 dot head and gsxr cams' once again, I'm not particularly clued up on that aspect either. Thanks
