Ah the simple solution to this problem, sell the 929 and get a new bike..like an 07 gsxr 1000, perhaps it's just me, but i love my 929, but i couldn't force myself to turbo it, and tear it apart trying to get those extra HP, waste of money, the bike is what it is, love what ya got. If i were to turbo my bike and do exhaust, etc. It would cost me 5k probably more, so 5K worth of upgrades to a bike that's only worth 5k doesn't make sense, plus turbo charged bikes are far from reliable.. you'll be up to your elbows in mechanic costs.. I would just move on..
Very true (except the gsxr 100 part!), I would go 1000RR or R1. I was making that same point with Triax in another thread. Why spend 4 or 5K on a bike thats worth 5+ when you could sell it and put the money you would spend on those mods with it and get a newer, better bike.
Doing some things like gears, steering damper, etc. is ok. But when you are looking to keep up with the newer liter bikes and trying to make serious HP mods, its just not worth it.

haha Haters of the gsxr 1000.. i have a deposit down on the 07.. aside from the fugly dual exhaust its not a bad bike, Anyways, yea i would much rather have a newer bike that has more potential, If i could i would keep the 929, but i've put about 11k on her, it's time to move on..
