There are other threads about trying to gain extra HP and torque. I think the general conclusion is, from what I've read over the past two years, about a 5 HP gain and about 5 more pounds of torque, according to the dyno charts I've seen posted here. That's a really poor return on investment: ECU re-flash, Power Commander, new airbox, new headers and can, and a dyno run if you really want to do things completely--you're getting close to $3000. After all that, a different stock bike for less money is still going to make more power. My thoughts: Spend that money on better riding gear and advanced riding classes--maybe even do some track days. You'll have way more confidence and fun than you'll get from an extra 5 ponies. Plus, when you change bikes, your investment goes with you . If you're going to put money into the performance of your CB, think about upgrading the tires and suspension. Or improve the comfort. Or make it look a certain way with custom parts. My $.02.
