The thing about Chi's bike is someone spent an absolute fortune on it and then sold it.... Saying that now it's "done" it's got a lovely fat spread of torque and that's the stuff that puts a smile on your face on the road.
Chi: Did it run right when you got it (ie they got the engine sorted before they sold it) or did you get it done yourself?
Personally I'm not altogether convinced that twin plugs would make a difference power wise and unless the exhaust is a full system it's not gonna shred tarmac. That leaves the hi-compression pistons. I quite fancy fitting a set next winter but from doing some reading some "established" Ducati tuners don't reckon they up the power a massive amount.
That'd leave a big bore kit, which would be nice, or a set of Keihin FCR41s, which you can get from Chris Kelly for £460 plus shipping. If only I had a fullproof way of avoiding customs (and £460)....
