    Hey everyone I'm new to this site and would appreciate any feedback or opinions you have. I have a 2005 Honda sabre 1100. Love this bike and am thinking of doing something to the engine to give it a lil more power. Already have a jet kit and Vance and Hines pipes. What would be a good upgrade that it not a real pain in the ass to do?

    Don't know much about hopping up a Honda, but going to larger displacement would be the way to go, like Cowboy says. There's going to be a certain amount of wrenching whichever way you choose to go. Sometimes all you need to do is change jugs & pistons.

    Ok thanks I will look into that. Where would be a good place to look at those parts? There a site that sells the kit if it comes in one or would it be a dealer item?

    air filters - get K&N,
    better flowing exhaust
    new plugs
    tune it with jet kit

    Best bang for buck, anything else is going to be
    expensive and require a rebuild.

    Should be plenty fast...
